Question

I used the following theme on my activity:

<style name="Theme.TranslucentDarkGrey" parent="android:Theme">
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/translucent_dark_grey</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
</style>

This gives me a translucent grey background to see the back activity, problem I’m facing is I have an EditText that doesn’t fill up the parent. If I remove the Theme above it fills up nicely. here is the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/body"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:scrollbars="vertical" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>

Nevermind solved it using this:

<style name="Theme.TranslucentDarkGrey" parent="android:Theme.Translucent">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/translucent_dark_grey</item>
</style>
