How to set margins to a custom dialog?

Question

Does anybody knows how can I set margins to a custom dialog? I\'m asking because I\'ve a custom dialog but when displayed it stretches to fill the parent, even though I set

Answer 1

If you are creating a custom dialog with the background you can prefer the following code. You can change window property MATCH_PARENT for full screen.

My issue was width of dialog matching to its parent without margin

try following code as per requirement

    Window window = event_dialog.getWindow();
    window.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = window.getAttributes();
    wlp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    wlp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
    wlp.flags &= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND;
    window.setAttributes(wlp);

set these property before dialog.show() OR you can set LEFT,RIGHT,TOP,BOTTOM margin to your dialog by setting margin to your root layout and custom background to its child layout like
