How to make DialogFragment width to Fill_Parent

Question

I am working on an android application where I am using DialogFragment to display the dialog but its width is very small. How I can make this width to fil

Answer 1

In my case I also used the following approach:

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        getDialog().getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, (int) getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.dialog_height));
    }
}

But there were still small gaps between left and right edges of the dialog and the screen edges on some Lollipop+ devices (e.g. Nexus 9).

It was not obvious but finally I figured out that to make it full width across all the devices and platforms window background should be specified inside styles.xml like the following:

And of course this style needs to be used when we create the dialog like the following:

    public static DialogFragment createNoTitleDlg() {
        DialogFragment frag = new Some_Dialog_Frag();
        frag.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.Dialog_NoTitle);
        return frag;
}
