Answer 2

Yes, this is possible. I believe you can do it by creating a custom alert dialog:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog

you can then set the background of your custom dialog to transparent like so:

this.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.transparent);

(where "R.drawable.transparent" is a reference to the color "#00000000")
