The code I use is the following and it works for me:
Window mainWindow = getWindow();
//Set Blur
mainWindow.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
//Set Dim
int dimAmt = 50; //In my application this is actually a setting stored in
preferences...
mainWindow.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = m_mainWindow.getAttributes();
params.dimAmount = dimAmt / 100f;
m_mainWindow.setAttributes(params);
As for the dim amount... you are setting it to 0 which tells it not to dim.
Also, I noticed that you are using setFlags while I use addFlags. Try using
addFlags and see what happens...
Hope that helps,
Justin
