Popup Window shows at the center of the screen and outside of the context

Question

What I want is... there's a floating icon (always on top of other apps). Tapping it wil show a popup window which is on the center of the screen. I have tried the accepted answer here but it didn't work :(

Okay, after wrestling with it, I found a way to do this. It's kinda tricky LOL.

    public void createWindow() {
    //initialize the popup window
    // blah blah blah and right before you're about to show it, create
    // a framelayout like the one below. And use windowmanager to addView 
    // (just like the way we create a floating icon on top of other apps)
    framelayout = new FrameLayout(this);
    WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutparameters = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
            width, height, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
                    | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH,
            PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

    parameters.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
    manager.addView(framelayout, layoutparameters);
    framelayout.post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            pop.showAtLocation(framelayout, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
        }
    });
    }

Not done yet, my friends! Don't forget this in the method createWindow().

    pop.setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDismiss() {
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        manager.removeView(framelayout);
                        framelayout = null;
                    } catch (Exception e) {

                    }
                }
            }, 500);

You can leave the handler. I use it because my popup window uses animation to dismiss (and yes my animation duration is 500 mili). Done!
