Hi I want to make a custom dialogue box for my android application and want to populate it with buttons, check boxes and such kind of items.
I have followed the tutorial from android developers website, but that is not what I want, actually I want to customise the background and size of the dialogue box.
Please if any body could give me a head start, Plus I want to know when I design a background for that box, what dimensions and pixel numbers I use so that it may run the same in Galaxy Note, Galaxy S and tablets and other mobile phones running android.
Here is the picture of customised dialogue box. Like that I want to work out something. enter image description here

    Yes this is a good question. You must use a custom dialog with a transparent bg theme like these:

    Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.show();

    where custom_dialog will be your XML for the dialog layout, and as far as dimensions go you should really test your app on a number of different screen resolution devices to ensure it displays as you want.
