Android Dialog: Removing title bar

Question

I have a weird behavior I can't pinpoint the source of.

I have my app with the classic

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); 

to remove the title/status bar.

I then create a Dialog box to allow the user to enter information (name etc)

With a physical keyboard, no problem but when I use the virtual keyboard I have a strange behavior:

each time I hit a key on the virtual key board the title/status bar reappears pushing all the keyboard layout around then vanishes again (just like the animation of when I start the application)

here is some code :

        dialog = new Dialog(context);         dialog.setContentView(R.layout.logindialog);         dialog.setTitle("Login:");          WindowManager.LayoutParams a = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();  //      dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);          a.dimAmount = 0;         dialog.getWindow().setAttributes(a);          dialog.setCancelable(true);         dialog.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT); 

and then

dialog.show(); 

I tried

dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); 

but it crashes my app.

here is the xml

    <TextView android:id="@+id/LoginText"         android:gravity="fill"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="Login:">     </TextView>              <EditText android:id="@+id/LoginEdit"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:singleLine="true"         android:text="jason"         android:layout_width="200sp"/>     <TextView android:id="@+id/PasswordText"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="Password:">     </TextView>              <EditText android:id="@+id/PasswordEdit"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:singleLine="true"         android:text="welcome"         android:layout_width="200sp"         android:password="true"/> <LinearLayout      android:id="@+id/test2"     android:gravity="center_horizontal"     android:orientation="horizontal"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:id="@+id/LoginButton"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"     android:text="Login" /> <Button android:id="@+id/CreateButton"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"     android:text="Create" /> <Button android:id="@+id/CancelLogin"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"     android:text="Cancel" /> </LinearLayout>/>
