Answer 1

I have success using

 Window window = dialog.getWindow();
 WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
 lp.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.RIGHT;
 lp.x = 100;
 lp.y = 100;
 window.setAttributes(lp);

puts my dialog in the Top Right slightly down from the corner. this code is in onCreateDialog().

You can use

getDialog().getWindow().setAttributes(param);

in

onCreateView()

like this

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    getDialog().getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.TOP);
    WindowManager.LayoutParams param = getDialog().getWindow().getAttributes();
    param.width = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    param.softInputMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE;
    param.x = 100;
    param.y = 100;
   .
   .
    getDialog().getWindow().setAttributes(p);
   .
   .
}

I suffered a lot trying all the programmatically solutions with no results. Finally I've done it from the XML file without any extra code within the Java class.

All I've done is Make the parent height match_parent and set a gravity for it with value center

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
<!--The following two lines-->
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity=“center"
android:orientation="vertical">

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button_1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:text="@string/hide"
    android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button_2"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:text="@string/cancel"
    android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark" />
