Answer 1

According to this link:

Min_witdh_major is:

The platform's desired minimum size for a dialog's width when it is along the major axis (that is the screen is landscape). This may be either a fraction or a dimension.

And min_with_minor is:

The platform's desired minimum size for a dialog's width when it is along the minor axis (that is the screen is portrait). This may be either a fraction or a dimension.

In appcompat, this value is set as 65%.

Answer 2

@Ian Wong's answer is correct. Below are further details on that:

android:windowMinWidthMajor -> min_dialog_width in Landscape

android:windowMinWidthMinor -> min_dialog_width in Portrait

• The height of the dialog however isn't set and just wraps the content.

The actual values for @dimen/abc_dialog_min_width_major & @dimen/abc_dialog_min_width_minor is defined in the following path:

@dimen/abc_dialog_min_width_major - is 65% to 45% depending on the screen size. @dimen/abc_dialog_min_width_minor - is 95% to 72% depending on the screen size.
