Question

I want to display the alert dialog box to device screen size. I got the solution through this link How to make an alert dialog fill 90% of screen size? I use the solution given there, it works just fine but my alert message is displaying in very small size. we can’t even make out the message in landscape orientation. I have used the following code.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(R.string.app_description).setPositiveButton(
                    "Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            dialog.dismiss();
                        }
                    });
            builder.Title(title);

            Dialog d = builder.setView(new View(this)).create();
            WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
            lp.copyFrom(d.getWindow().getAttributes());
            lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
            lp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
            d.show();
            d.getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

How to set the message, so that it will properly display in the dialog window?

Thanks in advance

Check this code and tell me if that’s what you really wanted to achieve ?.

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

    // Creates textview
    TextView text = new TextView(this);  
    text.setText("Hello This text");  
    text.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
    text.setTextSize(20);        
    text.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

    //Creates a linearlayout layout and sets it with initial params
    LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
    ll.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
    ll.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    ll.addView(text);  //adds textview to llayout

    builder.setMessage("Title").setPositiveButton(
            "Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    dialog.dismiss();
                }
            }); 

    Dialog d = builder.setView(ll).create();   

    //Fills up the entire Screen
    WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
    lp.copyFrom(d.getWindow().getAttributes());
    lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
    lp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
    d.show();
    d.getWindow().setAttributes(lp);
