[android-developers] Re: Supplying a different background drawable for a dialog?

2010-03-11 Thread ivar
While changing the color of the panel, did you set the alpha value to
FF? 0 gives you full transparency and FF gives you total opacity.

Hope this helps.

 Hi,

 I'm trying to supply my own background drawable for a dialog. It works
 fine on 1.6+, on 1.5 though instead of a transparent dimmed background
 around the dialog, I just get opaque black. I defined the style like
 this in my styles.xml file:

    style name=CustomDlg parent=@android:style/Theme.Dialog
      item name=android:windowBackground@drawable/my_background/
 item
    /style

 Is there something else we need to do so that we can still get the
 transparency around the dialog? The drawable is nothing special, I
 just took the stock one from the aop and changed the color on the
 inside of the frame.

 Thanks

I just took the original image from the android assets folder, changed
the color, and save it out in photoshop. If it weren't set to 0, then
wouldn't it also be opaque on 1.6+ ?

Someone recommended I try this:

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.dimAmount=0.2f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

in the dialog onCreate() method. Gave it a shot, but no effect on 1.5
either. Works perfectly on 1.6+. I think there's something wrong with
1.5.

Any ideas?

Thanks
