Dim or Blur background in activity

Question

In one of my project I used PopupWindow. My problem is while viewing popupwindow the design seems to be uncomfortable to work. So I want to dim or blur my activity background. I searched a lot, but most of the answers seems only for Dialog not for PopupWindow. Is it possible in android to dim our activity background while viewing PopupWindaow.

No friend. I have completed my project. If it is not possible means then only way to move `Dialog`. Now only I am searching friend. — Gunaseelan, Mar 26 '13 at 06:48

I solved this problem by setting the background to the layout of the pop-up window with the following.

android:background="#80FFFFFF"

Thnaks..And it works as expected.

you can simply use this :

ColorDrawable dw = new ColorDrawable(0xb0000000);
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(dw);

I wasn't clear on what 'this' is.. but it got me on the right track -thanks! For a dialog popup, this worked: dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(dw); – Gene Bo Mar 10 '15 at 19:45

There is always a work around. Before showing your PopupWindow use another PopupWindow which has nothing but a dark translucent tint. Also when dismissing dismiss both pop up windows in the reverse sequence.

For code see this

Yes, it is possible, try android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" , it will make your activity transparent.

Try this

 Window window = popUpView.getWindow();
    WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = window.getAttributes();
    wlp.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
    wlp.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND;
    wlp.dimAmount = (float) 1.0;
    window.setAttributes(wlp);

PopupWindow does not have a `getWindow()` method. – Halil Aug 05 '14 at 04:47
