Remove Black background from Alert Dialog Box - Android

Question

I am working on an Android Application , Here I have created a custom dialog box , The dialog box was appearing on complete height of the device , but I wanted to leave margins from top and bottom , so I set margin using below code

  WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
    lp.copyFrom(alertDialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
    lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
    lp.height = Utility.convertDPtoPixel(400, screen);

    alertDialog.show();
    alertDialog.getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

Above code worked perfectly, but the dialog appears with black surroundings.

Here is the screen shot:

Now I want to remove these black surroundings from the dialog box.

Here is the code of dialog box:

public void showDialog() {
    AlertDialog.Builder builder;
    final AlertDialog alertDialog;
    //final Dialog alertDialog;
    Context mContext;
    mContext = screen;
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) LoginActivity.screen.getSystemService(LoginActivity.screen.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.countrylist, null);
    LinearLayout rellayout = (LinearLayout) layout.findViewById(R.id.rellayout);

    RelativeLayout closeAcessCodeDialog = (RelativeLayout)layout.findViewById(R.id.closeAcessCodeDialog) ;

    ListView listview = (ListView) layout.findViewById(R.id.listview);
    listview.setAdapter(new CustomAdapter1(LoginActivity.screen, countryList));

    builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.screen);
    builder.setView(layout);
    alertDialog = builder.create();
    alertDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(android.R.color.transparent);

    WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
    lp.copyFrom(alertDialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
    lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
    lp.height = Utility.convertDPtoPixel(400, screen);

    alertDialog.show();
    alertDialog.getWindow().setAttributes(lp);


    listview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,
                                long id) {
            countryName = idCountry.get(pos);
            System.out.println("Country code is: " + countryName);
            alertDialog.cancel();
            text.setText(countryList.get(pos));
        }
    });

    closeAcessCodeDialog.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            alertDialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

}

Hope this will help you a lot

I think its default theme color which is Black so you have to check the import of your AlertDialog it should be import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog; and one more thing you should use custom color for Background like below

alertDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
