do you need it to be on top of all activities or just the current activity? — user1506104, Mar 16 '19 at 17:23
You trick it using a layout over another and make it gone until you need to show it with the informations — ismail alaoui, Mar 17 '19 at 00:23

Use floating_dialog.xml in your activity on click of any views like buttons.

Use below code into activity

private void openDialog() {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(FloatingActivity.this);
    dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.floating_dialog);
    dialog.show();
}

Output:

I hope its work for you.

If you use `ConstraintLayout` you can flatten nested layouts — Samuel Robert, Mar 20 '19 at 05:40
