Custom dialog too small

Question

I have an android activity that implements a custom dialog.The application is running ok but the dialog is too small,i want to display a bigger dialog.How can i achieve this

Answer 1

Setting android:minWidth and android:minHeight in the custom layout does the trick for me.

Answer 2

You can add tag below

    <Space
            android:layout_width="600dp"
            android:layout_height="1dp"/>

inside your parent layout , so dilog layout fill the width of screen as much as poossible.

NOTICE android:layout_width="600dp" value should be more than screen witdth , and I think 600dp is enough for MobileScreens.

Answer 3

<style name="full_screen_dialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateUnspecified|adjustPan</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:minWidth" type="dimen">600dp</item>
</style>

Use this in style.xml file and use this style in dialog class

Answer 4

Change your dialog dimension on runtime:

yourDialog.show();
yourDialog.getWindow().setLayout((6 * width)/7, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

You can do that for both dimension, in my example i only changed the width. Hope it helps!

EDIT

I forgot to mention where i took width:

DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;

EDIT 2

Try this code:

Dialog yourDialog = dialogFragment.getDialog();
yourDialog.getWindow().setLayout((6 * width)/7, (4 * height)/5);

put below line in onCreate

setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_NoActionBar_MinWidth);

Answer 6

The right solution is to override the onCreateDialog method rather than onCreateView, and create your dialog with a AlertDialog.Builder, as explained in the doc: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DialogFragment.html#AlertDialog
