I want to remove a transparent dark backgrond outside of dialog box.

enter image description here

I tried with:

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
        dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.WHITE));
        this.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.WHITE));
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.spinner_layout);
         getWindow().getDecorView().setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);
