Thank you for your answer, Dianne. Problem however is, that even the new Dialog themed activity won't adapt to an orientation change if the parent activity is fixed to portrait or landscape mode. It seems the reason is the transparent/transluscent background of it. Once I create an activity with an opaque background everything works as expected. But I'd wish I could keep the blurred out effect somehow.
