Dialogue taking up entire screen

Question

I am creating a dialogue with a number picker and a button but unfortunately it is taking up the entire screen.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<NumberPicker
    android:id="@+id/numberPicker1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

    android:layout_marginTop="64dp" />


<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/numberPicker1"
    android:text="Set" />

</RelativeLayout>

Here is how i am creating the dialogue

        final Dialog d = new Dialog(CreateShiftActivity.this, R.style.Theme_AppCompat);
    d.setTitle("NumberPicker");
    d.setContentView(R.layout.num_dialog);

Have you tried to put `wrap_content` for height and width on the `RelativeLayout`? — jampez77, Jul 11 '19 at 10:07
@Shubham you can take a reference from here: https://github.com/yash786agg/SpinnerIOS — yash786, Jul 11 '19 at 10:10

@jampez77 yes that was my first call, but nothing seems to work. Also to add, on some devices the dialogue is not taking up the entire screen, on some it is — Shubham Gajra, Jul 11 '19 at 11:42

Try to wrap your relative layout:

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I suggest so use Constraint layout in future.

Hope it helps.

Edit

try this whit Constraints:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <NumberPicker
            android:id="@+id/numberPicker1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" android:layout_marginTop="8dp"/>


    <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Set" android:layout_marginTop="8dp" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/numberPicker1"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="8dp" android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Try using AlertDialog instead

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(CreateShiftActivity.this, R.style.Theme_AppCompat);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.num_dialog, null);
alertDialogBuilder.setView(convertView);
alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("NumberPicker");
alertDialogBuilder.show();

Dialogue taking up entire screen
