'Changing position of the Dialog on screen android

I made a simple AlertDialog in my Activity:

View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_dialog, null);
AlertDialog infoDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this)
                    .setView(view)  
                    .create();

infoDialog.show();

With above code, the dialog shows at the (about) the center of the screen.

I am wondering, how can I customize the dialog position to make it showing just under the top Action Bar ? (Is there anyway to change the gravity or something of the dialog?) and how to do it based on my code??

Solution 1:^[1]

private void showPictureialog() {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this,
            android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);

    // Setting dialogview
    Window window = dialog.getWindow();
    window.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

    window.setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
    dialog.setTitle(null);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.selectpic_dialog);
    dialog.setCancelable(true);

    dialog.show();
}

you can customize you dialog based on gravity and layout parameters change gravity and layout parameter on the basis of your requirenment

I found this code snippet from @gypsicoder code here

private CharSequence[] items = {"Set as Ringtone", "Set as Alarm"};
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {

        if(item == 0) {

        } else if(item == 1) {

        } else if(item == 2) {

        }
    }
});

AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
WindowManager.LayoutParams wmlp = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();

wmlp.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
wmlp.x = 100;   //x position
wmlp.y = 100;   //y position

dialog.show();

Here x position's value is pixels from left to right. For y position value is from bottom to top.

New BottomSheetDialog:

BottomSheetDialog dialog = new BottomSheetDialog(YourActivity.this);    
dialog.setContentView(YourView);

dialog.show();

Solution 4:^[4]

For me, this worked out pretty well where I was trying to position my dialog somewhere exactly at the bottom of the textview where it gets selected.

public void setPosition(int yValue) {
    Window window = getWindow();
    WindowManager.LayoutParams param = window.getAttributes();
    param.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;
    param.y = yValue;
    window.setAttributes(param);
    window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
}

Solution 5:^[5]

just add this to your code:

dialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);

Solution 6:^[6]

You can use this snippet to place the AlertDialog at the bottom of the screen.

AlertDialog dialogPopup;

dialogPopup = mBuilder.create();
dialogPopup.getWindow().getAttributes().gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;

Solution 7:^[7]

dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;

Solution 8:^[8]

i use this method

 @Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getActivity());
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
    Window window = dialog.getWindow();
    WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = window.getAttributes();
    wlp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_droppoint);
    dialog.show();
    window.setAttributes(wlp);
    return dialog;

}

Solution 9:^[9]

use bottomSHeet :

BottomSheetDialog dialog = new BottomSheetDialog(YourActivity.this);
dialog.setContentView(YourView);
dialog.show();

Solution 10:^[10]

kotlin:

val dialog = Dialog(context)
//set graviy bottom
dialog.window.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM)

Solution 11:^[11]

For my Dialog activity i used this one:

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = this.getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;

Solution 12:^[12]

The easiest way to set Dialog gravity in kotlin:

dialog.window?.setGravity(Gravity.TOP) // Set the gravity here

private fun searchDialog() {
    val dialog = Dialog(this)
    dialog.window?.setGravity(Gravity.TOP) // Set the gravity here
    val binding = DialogSearchHomeBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
    dialog.setContentView(binding.root)
    dialog.show()
}

Solution 13:^[13]

public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment{
    protected void setDialogGravity(int gravity) {
        Dialog dialog = getDialog();
        if (dialog != null) {
            Window window = dialog.getWindow();
            if (window != null) {
                WindowManager.LayoutParams params = window.getAttributes();
                params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
                params.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
                params.horizontalMargin = 0;
                params.gravity = gravity;
                params.dimAmount = 0;
                params.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND;
                window.setAttributes(params);
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreateView(inflater,container,savedInstanceState);

        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_dialog, null);
    }

    @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
                setDialogGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
    }
}

I have coded a custom Dialog, with a custom layout. It has a cancel and a save button and you can set up also gravity on the device's screen (bottom) and define the width and height of the dialog.

private void showDialog(final String scanContent, final String currentTime, final String currentDate) { LayoutInflater linf = LayoutInflater.from(this); final View inflator = linf.inflate(R.layout.dialog_barcode_result_dialog, null);

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this, android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Light_Dialog);

// Setting dialogview
Window window = dialog.getWindow();
window.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);

dialog.getWindow().setLayout(375, 350);

window.setLayout(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
dialog.setTitle(null);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_barcode_result_dialog);

dialog.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.dialog_title));
dialog.setContentView(inflator);

final Button save = inflator.findViewById(R.id.saveBtn);
final Button cancel = inflator.findViewById(R.id.cancelBtn);
final TextView message = inflator.findViewById(R.id.dialog_message_text);
message.setText(scanContent);
save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        dialog.cancel();

    }
});
cancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        dialog.cancel();

    }
});

dialog.show();

}

the dialog layout xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:minWidth="350dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="10dp"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
                android:id="@+id/dialog_message_text"
                />

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:gravity="right"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/cancelBtn"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="@string/cancel" />

                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/saveBtn"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="@string/button_save" />
            </LinearLayout>

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

in Java

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ConnectActivity.this);

AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();  
// set the gravity      
alertDialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.TOP);
// set the margin 
alertDialog.getWindow().getAttributes().verticalMargin = 0.1F;
alertDialog.show();

Solution 16:^[16]

Java version of kotlin code suggested by A.I.Shakil :

 AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
            .setView(v)
            .setCancelable(false).create();
    dialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.TOP);
    dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(android.R.color.transparent);
    dialog.show();
