How to make an alert dialog fill 90% of screen size?

Set android:minWidth and android:minHeight in your custom view xml. These can force the alert not to just wrap content size. Using a view like this should do it:

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:minWidth="300dp" 
  android:minHeight="400dp">
  <ImageView
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:background="@drawable/icon"/>
</LinearLayout>

Just give the AlertDialog this theme

<style name="DialogTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Dialog.MinWidth">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMajor">90%</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMinor">90%</item>
</style>

***In Kotlin You can Code like This : -*** 

fun customDialog(activity: Activity?, layout: Int): Dialog {
    val dialog = Dialog(activity!!)
    try {
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
        dialog.setCancelable(false)
        dialog.setContentView(layout)
        dialog.window!!.setBackgroundDrawable(ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT))
        dialog.window!!.setLayout(ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        dialog.show()
    } catch (e: Exception) {

    }
    return dialog
}

If you are using Constraint Layout, you can set any view inside it, to fill a percentage of the screen with:

layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.8"

So, for example, if you have a ScrollView inside the dialog and you want to set it to a percentage of the screen height. It would be like this:

<ScrollView
            android:id="@+id/scrollView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.8">

Hope it helps someone !!

If you use dialog fragment you can do it on onResume method. It's code for Xamarin Android, but I think it so easy to understand it

public override void OnResume() 
{
    base.OnResume();
    var metrics = Resources.DisplayMetrics;

    double width = metrics.WidthPixels * 0.9;
    double height = metrics.HeightPixels * 0.6;

    this.Dialog.Window.SetLayout((int)width, (int)height);
    this.Dialog.Window.SetGravity(Android.Views.GravityFlags.Center);
}

Based in part on Anand's answer. This works for me:

override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Dialog {
    val fragmentActivity = requireActivity()
    val v = View.inflate(context, R.layout.fragment_about_dialog, null)
    val dialog = Dialog(fragmentActivity)
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
    dialog.setContentView(v)

    val wm = fragmentActivity.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager 

    val display = if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.R) {
        fragmentActivity.display
    } else {
        wm.defaultDisplay // deprecated in API 30
    }

    val size = Point()
    display?.getSize(size)

    val width = size.x - 50
    val height = size.y - 50
    val lp = WindowManager.LayoutParams()
    lp.copyFrom(dialog.window?.attributes)
    lp.width = width
    lp.height = height
    dialog.show()
    dialog.window?.attributes = lp
    
    return dialog
}

For dialog layout used constraintLayout:

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
        android:id="@+id/dialogLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    ...
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Result:

This works fine when changing screen orientation.

Make your dialog an activity. 3 Steps

STEP 1: Put one of these in styles.xml

Style One: I like this one because you can change the parent theme to the name of your theme that you are using for the rest of your app.

<style name="DialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMajor">90%</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMinor">90%</item>
</style>

Style Two:

<style name="DialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMajor">90%</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMinor">90%</item>
</style>

STEP 2: Then put this in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
    android:name="com.example.YourApp.DialogActivity"
    android:theme="@style/DialogTheme" />

STEP 3: And make sure you have your main layout width fill_parent or match_parent in activity_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    tools:context=".DialogActivity">

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Try this:

dialog.getWindow().setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

I found very simple and easy to use a workaround

    fun showDialog(){
    val dialog = Dialog(this@DialogActivity)
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
    dialog.setCancelable(false)
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog)
    val txtTitle = dialog.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txtTitle)
    val btn  = dialog.findViewById<Button>(R.id.button)

    btn.setOnClickListener {
        Toast.makeText(this,"test",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
    txtTitle.setText("ali")
    dialog.show()

    val window = dialog.window
    window?.setLayout(WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
}
