Make dialog smaller on screen

Question

I want my dialog to not fit the whole screen like the image shown. How should i make it so it is not as long (height).

public class SidemenuInfoDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {

      @Override
      public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.sidemenu_info_main, container, true);
        return layout;
      }

       @Override
       public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         Dialog dialog = new Dialog(new ContextThemeWrapper(getActivity(), R.style.Theme_Window_NoMinWith));
            dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

            return dialog;
          }


}

The View:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                android:id="@+id/sidemenu_info_main_relative">


            <TextView
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:id="@+id/text1"
                    android:text="TEST TEXT "/>


</RelativeLayout>

Let me know if there is something else needed to be able to help me get on the right path of fixing this.

Answer 1

Give your textview inside your dialog view height and width as "wrap_content".Like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:id="@+id/sidemenu_info_main_relative">

    <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/text1"
            android:text="TEST TEXT "/>

 </RelativeLayout>

Answer 2

Try changing you xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:id="@+id/sidemenu_info_main_relative">


        <TextView
                android:layout_width="100dp"
                android:layout_height="40dp"
                android:id="@+id/text1"
                android:text="TEST TEXT "/>

     </RelativeLayout>

If that does not work with you here is another approach that I usually do :

public class PopUp {
public  void poupUP(final Activity activity) {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity, R.style.dialogwithoutTitle);
    dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new      ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
     //here add the layout
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.pop_up);
   // The comments are to change the position of the alert dialogu
   // WindowManager.LayoutParams wmlp = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();
    //wmlp.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.END;
    //wmlp.x = 100;   //x position
    //wmlp.y = 100;   //y position


    dialog.show();
}

}

Then wherever you want it to show do this :

PopUp p = new PopUp();
p.popUP();
