DialogFragment fullscreen shows padding on sides

Question

I am creating a custom DialogFragment that is displayed underneath the actionbar. So far everything works great. The layout parameters for dialog fragment are match_pa

Answer 1

I figured it out using custom dialog theme. windowIsFloating true will get rid of the background but will add some extra space underneath the background as a background. In which case you can use windowBackground @null to erase it.

Usage:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity(), R.style.CustomDialog);

Thank you to Raghunandan who gave me the link that includes all style attributes. It took me a while but I went through that file and found very interesting elements. Definitely have a look at the link posted below to explore theme styles.
