Hi Dianne, this is what I did, and it didn't work:
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(); lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT; lp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT; getWindow().setAttributes(lp); that has no effect whatsoever (I called it in onCreate(), tried calling it before and after the super.onCreate(), but no luck). What I do now is implement a custom LinearLayout for the activity where I override onMeasure() and set the width and height to the screen width and height. But that's incorrect of course, because that size is larger than the actual canvas (it doesn't account for menu and toolbars). Can you help me out here? Why is there no simple way to fix a dialog's size?
