popupwindow

I'm trying to get a completely custom Dialog or PopupWindow, without any of the default Android UI controls (title, background, buttons, whatever).

Is this possible at all? I've spent hours searching for this, but no luck... It seems like this should be easily possible, but I can't find it.

Preferably this would be by inflating a View from XML, but at this point anything that would just work would be nice.

Thanks.
