Can you make the dialog x10 big match parent, and the pdf file big to read
Sure! Let's make that dialog 10 times bigger than normal and make sure the PDF preview is as large as possible for better readability.
First, you can set the width and height of the dialog to match the parent's size. Keep in mind that making the dialog too large might cause usability issues, but hey – if you want a dialog the size of the Shangri-La, who am I to judge?
Here's how you can modify your code to achieve this:
private fun showPdfPreviewDialog(pdfFile: File) {
val dialogView = LayoutInflater.from(requireContext()).inflate(R.layout.dialog_pdf_preview, null)
val ivPdfPreview = dialogView.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.ivPdfPreview)
val btnSavePdf = dialogView.findViewById<Button>(R.id.btnSavePdf)
// Set ImageView to be as large as possible
val layoutParams = ivPdfPreview.layoutParams
layoutParams.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
layoutParams.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
ivPdfPreview.layoutParams = layoutParams
renderPdfToImageView(pdfFile, ivPdfPreview)
val dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext())
.setTitle("PDF Preview")
.setView(dialogView)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null)
.create()
val window = dialog.window
if (window != null) {
// Make the dialog fill the screen
val layoutParams = WindowManager.LayoutParams()
layoutParams.copyFrom(window.attributes)
layoutParams.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
layoutParams.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
window.attributes = layoutParams
}
btnSavePdf.setOnClickListener {
savePdfFile(pdfFile)
dialog.dismiss()
}
dialog.show()
}
In this update:
ivPdfPreview
ImageView is set to match the parent's width and height.AlertDialog
, I ensure that its width and height are set to match the parent's dimensions by manipulating the WindowManager.LayoutParams
.Now, when you show the dialog, it should cover the entire screen, making your PDF preview as big as possible. Your users might need sunglasses for that PDF flash, but at least they'll have no excuse for not seeing the contents!
