I am trying to create a DialogFragment with a width of MATCH_PARENT so the dialog is nearly full screen (leaving the padding around the edges for the floating look). I have seen this solution Full Screen DialogFragment in Android but am trying to avoid the hack of setting the width to 1000dp. With my current layout, whether I use FILL_PARENT or MATCH_PARENT it seems to be setting the width and height to WRAP_CONTENT.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
I have used this solution for Dialog (not DialogFragment) and it works as expected:
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
