Android: Display custom dialog in center of the container

Question

How to display custom dialog as a center of the container?

Dialog customdialog = new Dialog(this,android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar); 
Window window = customdialog.getWindow();
window.setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
window.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar - is used to remove border for cutomdialog. Once i used this line the dialog will appear at the topleft corner of the tablet?

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Change the fill_parent to wrap_content.I hope this will be the issue the dialog appear at the corner of the activity.It takes the space of whole layout.So changing this may help you to get what you realy wanted.

Window window = customdialog.getWindow();
window.setLayout(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
window.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

Use above code after dialog.show() statement

Answer 2

I added this to the dialog's custom style and it worked fine.

<item name="android:layout_gravity">center</item>

My dialog's width and height are set to wrap_content. The style's parent is

parent="@android:style/Theme.Light"
