Material guidelines describe the behavior of a full-screen dialog.
Full-screen dialog | Dialogs - Material Design
How can I achieve
Use DialogFragment
Refer this link for Showing a Dialog Fullscreen or as an Embedded Fragment
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#FullscreenDialog
I am just copying the code here.
Create a dialogfragment
public class CustomDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
/** The system calls this to get the DialogFragment's layout, regardless
of whether it's being displayed as a dialog or an embedded fragment. */
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout to use as dialog or embedded fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.purchase_items, container, false);
}
/** The system calls this only when creating the layout in a dialog. */
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// The only reason you might override this method when using onCreateView() is
// to modify any dialog characteristics. For example, the dialog includes a
// title by default, but your custom layout might not need it. So here you can
// remove the dialog title, but you must call the superclass to get the Dialog.
Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
return dialog;
}
}
Then add this method to show the dialog
public void showDialog() {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
CustomDialogFragment newFragment = new CustomDialogFragment();
if (mIsLargeLayout) {
// The device is using a large layout, so show the fragment as a dialog
newFragment.show(fragmentManager, "dialog");
} else {
// The device is smaller, so show the fragment fullscreen
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
// For a little polish, specify a transition animation
transaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
// To make it fullscreen, use the 'content' root view as the container
// for the fragment, which is always the root view for the activity
transaction.add(android.R.id.content, newFragment)
.addToBackStack(null).commit();
}
}
The main thing that has to be focused is in this line
transaction.add(android.R.id.content, newFragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();
The dialog become fullscreen when u specifiy the rootview as the android.R.id.content
