[FIXED] BottomSheetDialog with transparent background

Issue

I would like to display a bottom sheet dialog less wide than the screen width.

For instance, the Share option from Google Play Music on a Nexus 9.

Do you know how to achieve this ?

For now I just succed to reduce the width of the sheet content but the background is still at the screen width and display a white background.

Some code:

build.gradle

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'

MainActivity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...

    mBottomSheetDialog = new BottomSheetDialog(this);
    mBottomSheetDialog.setContentView(R.layout.sheet_test);
    mBottomSheetDialog.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
            mBottomSheetDialog = null;
        }
    });
    mBottomSheetDialog.show();
}

sheet_test

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="16dp"
            android:text="Some Text"
            android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary" />

        <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="#ddd" />

        <TextView
            style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_margin="16dp"
            android:text="Some Text" />

        <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="#ddd" />

    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Solution

So, I figured out 2 solutions.

Best one:

Create an activity with transparent background just for your bottom sheet. Implement your own layout with a coordinator layout and a bottom sheet. Set the margin you want. Set the content you want.

Not tested yet.

Lazy one:

Extends BottomSheetDialogFragment, in onActivityCreated add:

    Resources resources = getResources();

    // Set margin for Landscape Mode. Maybe a more elegant solution will be to implements our own bottom sheet with our own margins.
    if (resources.getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        assert getView() != null;
        View parent = (View) getView().getParent();
        CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) parent.getLayoutParams();
        layoutParams.setMargins(
                resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.bottom_sheet_margin_left), // 64dp
                0,
                resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.bottom_sheet_margin_right), // 64dp
                0
        );
        parent.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    }
