I am creating an application which using custom view and i have designed the layout using a class that extends view.

Now i have a help icon on that view which have to popup on click.I have tried dialog window but i need a window without title and border.

I have checked some games and they are using what exactly i need. Anybody can suggest a better solution?

here is my sample code to get help button

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me) {
        int action = me.getAction();
        if(action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN ){
            x = me.getX();
            y = me.getY();
if (x >= helpButtonX && x < (helpButtonX +help.getWidth())&&
 y >= helpButtonY && y <     helpButtonY + help.getHeight() ) 
  {
           // code toshow popup
   }
  }
}

Yes you can create a custom dialog with the layout designed by you.

For that simply create a dialog and set the layout by using setContentView() method.

For example:

 Dialog dialog = new Dialog(myActivity.this);
 dialog.setContentView(R.layout.myDialogLayout);
 dialog.setTitle("");
 dialog.setCancelable(true);
 dialog.show();
