I am trying to make a custom dialog in Android. Everything works perfectly except that the height of the dialog is too big and it looks bad. I attached an image to see how it looks: http://i42.tinypic.com/14t1lp4.jpg

I only need the button part to show. Also, it would be nice if the white contour would dissapear as well.
This is my layout code:

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

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="top"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:maxLines="4"
    android:text="@string/app_name"
    android:textColor="#ff000000" android:drawingCacheQuality="high" android:textSize="18dip"/>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/dialogButton"
    android:layout_width="200dip"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="Button" android:background="@drawable/buttond" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:textStyle="bold"/>

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Put the following code in your Custom Dialog Box’s constructor or wherever you call setContentView()–

    try {
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE );
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    

    This will save lot of space from your dialog.

    NOTE : Put the above code BEFORE setContentView()
