Successfully got a .9.png file created and applied it to my ListView - looks very nice. Problem - the AlertDialog I want to use it for seems to add a rectangle with white interior as a container or border around my ListView. I'd like it to be transparent, and only show the ListView. Do I have to do an "extends alertdialog" class to get rid of that white border?
