Answer 1

you should not use the .show method with the first line, use the following code it works:

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.titlebar, null);
alert.setCustomTitle(view);
alert.setMessage("helo");
alert.show();

getLayoutInflater() crashes my fragment in onCreateDialog. LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()) works. – Leucite

    DisplayDialog d = new DisplayDialog(this);
    d.show();

    public class DisplayDialog extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener
    {
        public DisplayDialog(Context c) 
        {
            super(c, R.style.Theme_Dialog_Translucent);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

            setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
            setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
        }
    }

Add this snippet to your strings.xml

 <style name="Theme_Dialog_Translucent" parent="android:Theme.Dialog">
     <item name = "android:windowBackground">@color/transparent</item>
 </style>
 <color name="transparent">#00000000</color> 

Use dismiss(); to close the dialog
