You can also use following line in constructor

getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0));

For some reason you can run into graphical glitches if you use `#00000000`. I recommend using `@android:color/transparent`. Don't ask me why since they are the same ARGB value, just trust me that I have run into problems with it. – Tyler Dec 08 '11 at 17:08
@Styler where would I add this `@android:color/transparent` line? in the xml-file for the dialog or in a style? been trying `android:background="@android:color/transparent"` but I suspect Im not doing it right. Mostly since its not working ^^ – Green_qaue Sep 27 '12 at 23:17

To make the background of the Dialog transparent you just need to set the theme of dialog to be android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar. eg:-

new AlertDialog.Builder(context, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar).show();

to setBackgroundDrawable you would need a ColorDrawable and in this case @Tarun Nagpal has the correct way of doing this. – Codeversed May 18 '12 at 02:38
