Answer 1

I had requirements to do the same thing in My Application, and I tried the above solution but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

After searching a lot for the same Issue, I have found one another solution That I would like to share here,

I have one Demo.java activity for top and Test.java Activity to show in background..So for that I have created one Style and applied to Demo.java …and Magic..All Worked.!!

style.xml

<style name="Theme.D1NoTitleDim" parent="android:style/Theme.Translucent">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">true</item>
<item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

and in Manifest.xml

<activity android:name="Demo"
android:theme="@style/Theme.D1NoTitleDim"></activity>

Hope This will help Others Too.
Enjoy Coding.!!

And you must make the following changes in the target activity (let’s say splash activity):

public class SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {}

Be sure to extend it to the activity
