Full Screen DialogFragment in Android
<p>I'm trying to show an almost fullscreen DialogFragment. But I'm somehow not able to do so.</p>

<p>The way I am showing the Fragment is straight from the android developer documentation</p>

<pre><code>FragmentManager f = ((Activity)getContext()).getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = f.beginTransaction();
Fragment prev = f.findFragmentByTag("dialog");
if (prev != null) {
    ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);

// Create and show the dialog.
DialogFragment newFragment = new DetailsDialogFragment();
newFragment.show(ft, "dialog");
</code></pre>

<p>I know naively tried to set the RelativeLayout in the fragment to fill_parent and some minWidth and minHeight.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"  
    android:minWidth="1000px" 
    android:minHeight="600px"
    android:background="#ff0000"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I would know expect the DialogFragment to fill the majority of the screen. But I only seems to resize vertically but only until some fixed width horizontally.</p>

<p>I also tried to set the Window Attributes in code, as suggested here: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f0bb813f643604ec">http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f0bb813f643604ec</a>. But this didn't help either.</p>

<p>I am probably misunderstanding something about how Android handles Dialogs, as I am brand new to it. How can I do something like this? Are there any alternative ways to reach my goal?</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong>
I now managed to get it into full screen, with the following code in the fragment</p>

<pre><code>@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setStyle(STYLE_NO_FRAME, android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light);
}
</code></pre>

<p>Unfortunately, this is not quite want I want. I definitely need a small "padding" around the dialog to show the background.</p>

<p>Any ideas how to accomplish that?</p>
