Question

I am making a dialog to overlay upon the screen when the phone needs to retrieve some data from a web service, problem is it is acting really weird:

Why isn’t the imageView (width and height set to **fill_parent)** filling up the whole space assigned to the alert?

---

Here’s the code that displays the alert:

public class WaitDialog {

private static AlertDialog dialog;

public static void show(Activity pariente) {
    WindowManager.LayoutParams sizeParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
    parametrosTamano.height = 128;
    parametrosTamano.width = 128;
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)pariente.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View content = inflater.inflate(R.layout.waitingdialog, null);
    ImageView animation = (ImageView)contenido.findViewById(R.id.waitpic);
    animacion.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(pariente, R.anim.animacionespera));
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(pariente);
    builder.setView(content);
    builder.setCancelable(false);
    dialog = constructor.create();
    dialog.show();
    //sizeParams.copyFrom(dialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
    dialog.getWindow().setAttributes(sizeParams);
    //dialog.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
}

public static void hide() {
    dialog.hide();
    dialog.dismiss();
    dialog = null;
}
}

Here’s the XML being inflated:

<ImageView 
    android:id="@+id/imagenEspera"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/animespera"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:contentDescription="@string/espera"/>

Am i doing something wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

NOTE: Can someone fix the above mess please?

Hello Drknezz,

          Please make the Layout for showing Alert and through Layout inflater show the alert. Like this

final Dialog _contiDialog=new Dialog(Qualify2.this,android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
_contiDialog.setContentView(R.layout.continuedilog);

continuedilog.xml
