RecyclerView inside Dialog is truncated bottom

        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

So I want info label at the top of my dialog + scrollable list. Code to show dialog:

CategoryGroupAdapter gropupAdapter = new CategoryGroupAdapter(categoryGroups);


        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);

        View convertView = LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.popup_category, null);

        RecyclerView list = convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_categories);
        list.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(MainActivity.this));
        list.setHasFixedSize(false);

        list.setAdapter(gropupAdapter);

        gropupAdapter.collapseAll();

        AlertDialog d = alertDialog.setView(convertView).setCancelable(true).setTitle(getString(R.string.category_dialog_title)).show();

As the result, I am getting my list truncated at the bottom if entire list has no room to display all items. It seems it's truncated of the info label height (but I can't set fixed info label height, because it needs to show all text on all devices with various dpi).

Any ideas how to display my dialog correctly?

Create an custom dialog extending Dialog fragment and passed required data through constructor and set them on dialog UI as per your need.

    public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    Context context;

    public AlertDialogFragment(){
    }

    //Create a multiple constructor on your need
    onStart(){
        //Set your logic if any like button color or UI on flag
    }

     @NonNull
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

         AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity(), R.style.customalertstyle)
                // set dialog icon
                // set Dialog Title
                .setTitle(title)
                // Set Dialog Message
                .setItems(items, itemClickListner)
                .setMessage(msg)
                // positive button
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton(positiveBtnText, positiveClickListner)
                .setOnKeyListener(keyListener)
                .setNegativeButton(negativeBtnText, negativeClickListner);

    }


     @Override
    public void show(FragmentManager manager, String tag) {
        //to catch the exception while app is in background and dialog
        try {
            super.show(manager, tag);
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

     @Override
    public void dismiss() {
        super.dismiss();
    }

}

Don't forgot to use support dialog fragment as another one is deprecated.
