Setting a background drawable for a dialog?
<p>Tried posting this at android dev, wanted to go here too in case anyone knows. I'm trying to supply a custom background drawable for a dialog. I've created the following in my styles.xml file:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;style name="CustomDlg" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"&gt; 
   &lt;item name="android:windowBackground"&gt;@drawable/my_background&lt;/item&gt; 
 &lt;/style&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p>This works fine on 1.6+. On my g1 running 1.5 (and the 1.5 emulator) the drawable is used, but the area around the dialog is opaque black instead of being translucent.</p>

<p>Is there something I'm missing here, or is this a bug with 1.5? Any work arounds? Is 1.5 just the ie6 of Android?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
