android: how to resize dialog

Question

I would like to create a dialog-style form which would fill the bigger screen area (left, right, top, bottom padding 10px).

I defined the style "CupCakeDialog" the following way:

<style name="CupcakeDialog" parent="android:Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@null</item>
</style>

and by running the activity:

getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

setContentView(R.layout.ad_popup);

The dialog is displayed the following way:

Does anyone know how to make the dialog bigger (extend height)?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Yes, I am late, but the answer is here.

dialog.show();

Display display =((WindowManager)getSystemService(context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
    int width = display.getWidth();
    int height=display.getHeight();

    Log.v("width", width+"");
dialog.getWindow().setLayout((6*width)/7,(4*height)/5);

Change height or width, whatever is needed...

在为对话框提供自定义布局时，您应该仅能像往常一样在文本周围提供顶部和底部填充。

Answer 3

For Dialogs/AlertDialogs inside a DialogFragment, you should resize the window in DialogFragment.onStart() ; especially if using AppCompat support library 23.2.1 or 24 or above.
