Good afternoon/good morning. I have a question about adjusting the accompanist Dialog to look similar size(almost the same) look in different devices. How can I achieve this?

[chanjungskim]

The first one is like this..

device = "spec:shape=Normal,width=1920,height=1280,unit=dp,dpi=230")

2nd, 3rd one is Okay. But 1st one is too small.

Oh, It's not accompanist but just Dialog from Jetpack compose.

In my experience it is better to not use the Dialog from Compose (It creates a new window) instead just build your own with normal compose components because there are still some glitches. And you than have more control over every thing.

Hmm.. Okay.. 😞 I actually changed from my custom function to Dialog. That's sad. I can change the Theme but I think the window size is limited.

[Timo Drick]

It is possible to get the dialog working for the whole screen. Let me search my other projects to see how i solved this.

Thank you 🙂

So the solution was to use

DialogProperties(usePlatformDefaultWidth=false)

And than use compose to fill the whole screen.

I tried it too and I think this only works in old version.

[Timo Drick]

Not sure if this still works as expected. But just used this because it was in a project with mixed legacy and compose view system. So i needed a way to paint above the legacy layout.

I just used Box with background + alpha and clickable at the moment.

[Timo Drick]

Just checked and for me it works also in Compose 1.4:

Dialog(
    onDismissRequest = { /*TODO*/ },
    properties = DialogProperties(usePlatformDefaultWidth = false)
) {
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(Color.Red))
}

This will fill the whole screen with red.

I am using bom 2023.01.00 and it doesn't work.

I thought you could'n't preview dialogs in compose?

[chanjungskim]

Dialog? It's just composable function and it is displayed in preview.
