    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01main);

        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                final Dialog myDialog = new Dialog(CustomDialogBoxActivity.this);
                myDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_sms_layout);
                myDialog.setTitle("Select any one");


                Button ok = (Button)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonOK);
                final RadioGroup radioGrp = (RadioGroup)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.radioGroupSmsDialog);

                final CheckBox mob1 = (CheckBox)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.checkBoxMob1);

                                Log.v("Mobile No", ""+phoneArray.toString());
                                sendSms("SMS Business Card",phoneArray);

                        }else if(!mob1.isChecked() && mob2.isChecked()) {
                            if(radioGrp.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == R.id.radioSms) {

                                Log.v("MOB2",mob2.getText().toString());
                                Log.v("Mobile No", ""+phoneArray.toString());
                                sendSms("SMS Message",phoneArray);

                            }else if(radioGrp.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == R.id.radioBusinessCard) {

                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Select atleast one number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }                       
                    }
                });
                myDialog.show();
            }

        });
    }

    public void sendSms(String message,String[] phoneNumber) {

        Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"));
        smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
        smsIntent.putExtra("address", phoneNumber);
        startActivity(smsIntent);       
    }
}

This is the output that i'm getting on button click

This is my main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is my main activity, from here, I want to display a dialog, 
                        after the user clicked the button below this text." />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/Button01main"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Show Dialog" />

</LinearLayout>

and this is my dialog_sms_layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

I'm not sure if this will work for your situation, but if you want to set it to full width or something similar, you need to get the current Window for the activity and set it's layout params like so:

myDialog.show();
Window window = myDialog.getWindow();
window.setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

Edit

FILL_PARENT has been deprecated, use instead

window.setLayout(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

its working but if i run application in landscape mode or in tablet then it will occupy whole screen which will look odd. – prateek Apr 20 '12 at 09:10

its integer parameters of width and height. Simply use something like window.setLayout(300,300); – Sorokin Andrey Nov 03 '13 at 09:59
FILL_PARENT has been deprecated now !! – Ravi Jun 23 '15 at 17:04

Use MATCH_PARENT instead – Héctor Oct 19 '15 at 14:37

You just need to add is style "Theme_AppCompat_Light_Dialog_Alert" to your dialog like this:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context, R.style.Theme_AppCompat_Light_Dialog_Alert);

and your dialog is looks like normal alert dialog

I solved this by removing the title bar with this code

    getDialog().getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

and adding padding to elements in my layout to stretch the Dialog box to my liking.

Use Relative_Layout instead of Linear_layout to get full width of Custom Dialog. I don't know why but it's work for me.

Okey I cannot find away to fix this but I find a walk aground: Create a RelaytiveLayout wrap around your root layout and set the gravity to center like this:

<RelativeLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:gravity="center">
    
   <YourRootLayoutHere/>

</RelativeLayout

    private void showdialog() {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.activity_disclaimer);
    dialog.show();
    Window window = dialog.getWindow();
    window.setLayout(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
    Button dialogButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.ok);
    dialogcb= (CheckBox) dialog.findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
