dialog.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);

public static WindowManager.LayoutParams setDialogLayoutParams(Activity activity, Dialog dialog)
    {
        try 
        {
            Display display = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
            Point screenSize = new Point();
            display.getSize(screenSize);
            int width = screenSize.x;

            WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
            layoutParams.copyFrom(dialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
            layoutParams.width = (int) (width - (width * 0.07) ); 
            layoutParams.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
            return layoutParams;
        } 
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }

dialog.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);

下面的方法对我来说效果不错:

    <style name="MyAlertDialogTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
        <item name="windowFixedWidthMajor">90%</item>
        <item name="windowFixedWidthMinor">90%</item>
    </style>

(注:windowMinWidthMajor/Minor，如之前的答案所建议的，没有做到这一点。我的对话框不断改变大小取决于内容)

然后:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity(), R.style.MyAlertDialogTheme);

实际90%计算解:

@Override public void onStart() {
   Dialog dialog = getDialog();
   if (dialog != null) {
     dialog.getWindow()
        .setLayout((int) (getScreenWidth(getActivity()) * .9), ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
   }
}

其中getScreenWidth(Activity Activity)定义如下(最好放在Utils类中):

public static int getScreenWidth(Activity activity) {
   Point size = new Point();
   activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);
   return size.x;
}

这里有一个简短的答案，对我来说是有效的(在API 8和API 19上测试)。

Dialog mDialog;
View   mDialogView;
...
// Get height
int height = mDialog.getWindow()
.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
.getHeight();

// Set your desired padding (here 90%)
int padding = height - (int)(height*0.9f);

// Apply it to the Dialog
mDialogView.setPadding(
// padding left
0,
// padding top (90%)
padding, 
// padding right
0, 
// padding bottom (90%)
padding);
