Question

Is there any possibility in Android to align a dialog Activity (activity with a dialog theme) at the bottom? By default, it is displayed in the middle of the screen. I haven’t found any information on that… Thanks.

This is not exactly what you are doing, but I had a similar problem where I needed to display a dialog from an activity – at the bottom of the screen. The trick was to use WindowManager.LayoutParams. Here’s what my onPrepareDialog looks like:

public void onPrepareDialog(int dialog, Dialog dlg) {
    Window window = dlg.getWindow();
    WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = window.getAttributes();
    switch (dialog) {
    case DIALOGUE_LOADING_PLEASE_WAIT:
        wlp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;
        window.setAttributes(wlp);
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }
}
