You can use the code

final Dialog mailDialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
mailDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.dialog_box);

dialog_box.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<corners
    android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
    android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
    android:topRightRadius="5dp" />

<gradient
    android:angle="-90"
    android:centerColor="#660D1E4A"
    android:endColor="#66011444"
    android:startColor="#66505E7F"
    android:type="linear"
     />

<stroke
    android:dashGap="0dp"
    android:dashWidth="0dp"
    android:width="1dp"
    android:color="#ffffffff" />

This is a custom dialog box you can add as much attribute you want.Hope this Would help
