The code presented in this article is using compose rc01

Jetpack Compose brings us with a cool new UI toolkit, but some things are completely different from how we are used to it, one of these cases is AlertDialog a common component on any application.

Steps to display an AlertDialog on compose:

  • Create a state as a flag to check if we need to show the dialog or not. 
var showDialog by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

You may need to import:
import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue
import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue

Basic AlertDialog: 

if (showDialog) {
    AlertDialog(
        onDismissRequest = {  },
        title = {  },
        text = { },
        confirmButton = { },
        dismissButton = { },
    )
}
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Let's see what's each param of AlertDialog composable method:

    onDismissRequest = {  },
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Will be called when clicking outside of a dialog, here we must set showDialog to false to remove it from our stack.

    title = {  },
    text = {  },
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Add a Text to show a title and message of our AlertDialog

    confirmButton = { },
    dismissButton = { },
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Define a Button or TextButton and its Text to get actions like "Accept" or "Cancel"

When click on confirm or button we must set our showDialog to false also, to avoid showing the dialog on the next recomposition.

    onDismissRequest = { showDialog = false },
    confirmButton = { showDialog = false },
    dismissButton = { showDialog = false },
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Other dialogs

What if we want to display custom content, like a list of items to select one?

    text = { 
       LazyColumn {
          items(...) { item -> Text(text = item) }
       }
    },
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

Use the text field of AlertDialog to display any content that is needed and handle the dialog in the same way of buttons: showDialog = false.
