Thanks for your help, pointing me to the right direction

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this without any problems. This is an application (a prototype) is made with Delphi XE5.

If you see the captures, you can see this:

I have used a semi-transparent panel with alignement alCenter (in you case you can align the panel alClient for all screen). You can modify the level of transparency with the Opacy property. In addition, I have used an effect (blur) with the background form (this is not necesary for you).

In the AndroidManfestTemplate.xml of your app, add this line

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

to the

 <application android:persistent="%persistent%" 

section.
