Android: setting dialog box sizes (what does "fill_parent" mean?)

Question

The Android Developer's Guide for Creating a Custom Dialog defines the layout that begins:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/layout_root"
          android:orientation="horizontal"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:padding="10dp"
          >

If I use this code, I get a dialog box that is in the center of the screen with about 40 pixels of the main view, visible on each side.

What exactly does fill_parent mean (for width and height)?
