Showing An Overlay In Android

My idea was to have a simple layout for a normal notification and a dialog control for the pop up with animation. Since the pop up needs to be at the point on which the user clicks

Solution 1:

You show the dialog fragment incorrect. Please use dialog.show(...). Also please ensure that you're bannerThumb, ctx, and relLayout are not null.

private void showOverLay(){
    final ConfirmBox dialog = new ConfirmBox(this.bannerThumb); 
    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(ctx); //Ensure ctx is not NULL
    dialog.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "yourtitle");
}
