Answer 3

The best solution I found was to set the width or minWidth to some arbitrarily large value to ensure it fills the screen. I don't like this solution, but I haven't seen anything better.

Answer 4

In my code, I was wanting a fullscreen dialog, but still show the notification bar at the top of the screen, so I'm using:

setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, android.R.style.Theme_Black_NoTitleBar);

This makes it fullscreen, but I'm not using a fullscreen style so that I keep the notification bar.

Hope it helps someone!
