I have a DialogFragment to show a View like a Popup screen. The Window appears always in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to set the position of the DialogFragment window? I have looked in to the source code but couldn't find anything yet.

Try something like this:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    getDialog().getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.TOP);
    WindowManager.LayoutParams p = getDialog().getWindow().getAttributes();
    p.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    p.softInputMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE;
    p.x = 200;
    ...
    getDialog().getWindow().setAttributes(p);
    ...

or other methods for getDialog().getWindow().

be sure to set the position after calling set-content.
