I have some popups on my app, it's fullscreen and the following code:
content.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
content.measure(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
int screenWidth = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
int screenHeight = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
int x = screenWidth / 2 - content.getMeasuredWidth() / 2;
int y = screenHeight / 2 - content.getMeasuredHeight() / 2;
window.showAtLocation(content, Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, x, y);
Make the window show centered.
But I have another Activity which is not fullscreen, when the popup opens it's right-down from where it's need to be.
Trying to figure out why this happens, I think the showAtLocation shows it's relative to the current Activity, but I need to show it relative to the display.
How can I do that? Or there's a simpler way to just the popup just centered?
popupWindow.showAtLocation(anyViewOnlyNeededForWindowToken, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
This will center your view.
It took me 2 hours of pain to figure this out. I didn't need any black magic maths to handle this.
The view is only needed for the window token, it has no other impact on the location.
Gravity tells the layout manager where to start the coordinate system and how to treat those coordinates. I can't find the docs but hacking is showing me that:
