Quick Action dialog in android having table or list layout

I did this using an Activity with transparent theme adding

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" 

to the Manifest file and to dismiss it after clicking outside the activity. I used the following code in that activity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Make us non-modal, so that others can receive touch events.
    getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL, LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL);

    // ...but notify us that it happened.
    getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH, LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH);

    // Note that flag changes must happen *before* the content view is set.
    setContentView(R.layout.settings_table);
}    

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    this.finish ();
}
