How to control the height and width of the default alert dialog in android?

This example demonstrates how do I control the height and width of the default alert dialog in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="https://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:id="@+id/relativeLayout"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/button"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Show Alert Dialog"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
      Button button;
      RelativeLayout relativeLayout;
      Context context;
      Activity myActivity;
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
         relativeLayout = findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
         context = getApplicationContext();
         button = findViewById(R.id.button);
         myActivity = MainActivity.this;
         button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(myActivity);
            builder.setTitle("My Action Bar");
            builder.setMessage("This is my custom Action bar, do you like it?");
            builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", null);
            builder.setNegativeButton("No", null);
            AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
            alertDialog.show();
            WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
            layoutParams.copyFrom(alertDialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
            layoutParams.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
            layoutParams.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
            alertDialog.getWindow().setAttributes(layoutParams);
         }
      });
   }
}

Step 4  − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
