How do I display an alert dialog on Android?

I want to display a dialog/popup window with a message to the user that shows "Are you sure you want to delete this entry?" with one button that says 'Delete'. When Delete is touched, it should delete that entry, otherwise nothing.

I have written a click listener for those buttons, but how do I invoke a dialog or popup and its functionality?

You could use an AlertDialog for this and construct one using its Builder class. The example below uses the default constructor that only takes in a Context since the dialog will inherit the proper theme from the Context you pass in, but there's also a constructor that allows you to specify a specific theme resource as the second parameter if you desire to do so.

new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
    .setTitle("Delete entry")
    .setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?")

    // Specifying a listener allows you to take an action before dismissing the dialog.
    // The dialog is automatically dismissed when a dialog button is clicked.
    .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { 
            // Continue with delete operation
        }
     })

    // A null listener allows the button to dismiss the dialog and take no further action.
    .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, null)
    .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
    .show();

shouldn't the AlertDialog.Builder(this) be replaced by AlertDialog.Builder(className.this) ?Watercolor
not necessarily. it is needed if you build alert dialog from some Listener.Burglarious
Keep in mind AlertDialog.Builder cannot be dismissed via dismiss() method. You can use alternatively AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context).create(); and you will be able to call dismiss() on it normally.Bromleigh

@Bromleigh in onClick(), DialogInterface dialog can be used as dialog.dismiss() to dismiss a dialog.Moron
@DavidBuilder: Is this example using DialogFragment or directly using AlertDialog? I thought the direct use was deprecated.Century

Try this code:

AlertDialog.Builder builder1 = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder1.setMessage("Write your message here.");
builder1.setCancelable(true);

builder1.setPositiveButton(
    "Yes",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });

builder1.setNegativeButton(
    "No",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });

AlertDialog alert11 = builder1.create();
alert11.show();
Lascar answered 22/1, 2010 at 7:37 Comment(9)
+1. This is a much better way to do it. @Lascar has created an instance of the dialog and therefore it's accessible to cancel() and so forth.Messenger
where should you put this in your code to create the builder exactly? I know when you use it.Salter
@MicroR Anywhere where it will be ran when you want an alert. You could put it inside a method that a button's onClick attribute points to for example.Mukluk
Is builder1.create() necessary because it seems to work fine when you call builder1.show() directly?Heuer
@razzak yes its necessary because its provide us dialog instance. we can use dialog instance to access dialog specific methodLascar
I'm trying this method but the alert window pops up and disappears immediately, without letting me time to read it. I obviously don't have time to click on the buttons to dismiss it either. Any idea why?Tillis
Nevermind, I found the reason why, I was firing a new Intent and it was not waiting for my alert windows to pop, as I could find here: #6337430Tillis
This code is working great. However I want to put all my alerts in a separate Java class. The method will be static so I can call Alerts.error1(). However I'm not sure how to transfer over the context as this doesn't work when it's in another class. I tried Alerts.error1(view) but that's throwing me a Error:(13, 63) error: non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context.Gowon
@Gowon you need pass context as parameter to method error , like Alert.error(context);Lascar

The code which David Hedlund has posted gave me the error:

Unable to add window — token null is not valid

If you are getting the same error use the below code. It works!!

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {

        if (!isFinishing()){
            new AlertDialog.Builder(YourActivity.this)
              .setTitle("Your Alert")
              .setMessage("Your Message")
              .setCancelable(false)
              .setPositiveButton("ok", new OnClickListener() {
                  @Override
                  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                      // Whatever...
                  }
              }).show();
        }
    }
});

We don't need to use both create() and show(), as show() already creates the dialog with the content described. According to the documentation, create() Creates a AlertDialog with the arguments supplied to this builder. It does not Dialog.show() the dialog. This allows the user to do any extra processing before displaying the dialog. Use show() if you don't have any other processing to do and want this to be created and displayed. Therefore it is only useful to use create() if you are planning on showing the dialog later, and you are loading its contents in advance.Passel
Changed param from getApplicationContext() to MyActivity.this and started working.Hightower

Use AlertDialog.Builder :

AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
//set icon 
 .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
//set title
.setTitle("Are you sure to Exit")
//set message
.setMessage("Exiting will call finish() method")
//set positive button
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
   //set what would happen when positive button is clicked    
        finish();
    }
})
//set negative button
.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
   //set what should happen when negative button is clicked
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Nothing Happened",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
})
.show();

You will get the following output.

what if the xml is from our creation?Americanist

Just a simple one! Create a dialog method, something like this anywhere in your Java class:

public void openDialog() {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context); // Context, this, etc.
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_demo);
    dialog.setTitle(R.string.dialog_title);
    dialog.show();
}

Now create Layout XML dialog_demo.xml and create your UI/design. Here is a sample one I created for demo purposes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/dialog_info"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="@string/dialog_text"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_below="@id/dialog_info">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dialog_cancel"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.50"
            android:background="@color/dialog_cancel_bgcolor"
            android:text="Cancel"/>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dialog_ok"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.50"
            android:background="@color/dialog_ok_bgcolor"
            android:text="Agree"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Now you can call openDialog() from anywhere you like :) Here is the screenshot of above code.

Enter image description here

Note that text and color are used from strings.xml and colors.xml. You can define your own.

The Dialog class is the base class for dialogs, but you should avoid instantiating Dialog directly. Instead, use one of the following subclasses: AlertDialog, DatePickerDialog or TimePickerDialog (from developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html )Spermatophyte
"Cancel" and "Agree" are not clickable here.Autocorrelation

Nowadays it's better to use DialogFragment instead of direct AlertDialog creation.

You can use this code:

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog2 = new AlertDialog.Builder(
    AlertDialogActivity.this);

// Setting Dialog Title
alertDialog2.setTitle("Confirm Delete...");

// Setting Dialog Message
alertDialog2.setMessage("Are you sure you want delete this file?");

// Setting Icon to Dialog
alertDialog2.setIcon(R.drawable.delete);

// Setting Positive "Yes" Btn
alertDialog2.setPositiveButton("YES",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // Write your code here to execute after dialog
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                           "You clicked on YES", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        }
    });

// Setting Negative "NO" Btn
alertDialog2.setNegativeButton("NO",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // Write your code here to execute after dialog
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                           "You clicked on NO", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });

// Showing Alert Dialog
alertDialog2.show();

This is a basic sample of how to create an Alert Dialog :

AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setTitle("Dialog on Android");
dialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?" );
dialog.setPositiveButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        //Action for "Delete".
    }
})
        .setNegativeButton("Cancel ", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            //Action for "Cancel".
            }
        });

final AlertDialog alert = dialog.create();
alert.show();

With the Material Components Library you can just use the MaterialAlertDialogBuilder

   MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(context)
        .setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?")
        .setPositiveButton("Delete") { dialog, which ->
            // Respond to positive button press
        }
        .setNegativeButton("Cancel") { dialog, which ->
            // Respond to positive button press
        }   
        .show()

enter image description here

With Compose 1.0.x you can use:

val openDialog = remember { mutableStateOf(true) }

if (openDialog.value) {
    AlertDialog(
        onDismissRequest = {
            // Dismiss the dialog when the user clicks outside the dialog or on the back
            // button. If you want to disable that functionality, simply use an empty
            // onCloseRequest.
            openDialog.value = false
        },
        title = null,
        text = {
            Text(
                "Are you sure you want to delete this entry?"
            )
        },
        confirmButton = {
            TextButton(
                onClick = {
                    openDialog.value = false
                }
            ) {
                Text("Delete")
            }
        },
        dismissButton = {
            TextButton(
                onClick = {
                    openDialog.value = false
                }
            ) {
                Text("Cancel")
            }
        }
    )
}

This is definitely help for you. Try this code: On click of a button, you can put one, two or three buttons with an alert dialog...

SingleButtton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // Creating alert Dialog with one Button

        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(AlertDialogActivity.this).create();

        // Setting Dialog Title
        alertDialog.setTitle("Alert Dialog");

        // Setting Dialog Message
        alertDialog.setMessage("Welcome to Android Application");

        // Setting Icon to Dialog
        alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.tick);

        // Setting OK Button
        alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which)
            {
                // Write your code here to execute after dialog    closed
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"You clicked on OK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

        // Showing Alert Message
        alertDialog.show();
    }
});

btnAlertTwoBtns.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // Creating alert Dialog with two Buttons

        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(AlertDialogActivity.this);

        // Setting Dialog Title
        alertDialog.setTitle("Confirm Delete...");

        // Setting Dialog Message
        alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want delete this?");

you can try this....

    AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setTitle("Dialog on Android");
dialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?" );
dialog.setPositiveButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        //Action for "Delete".
    }
})
        .setNegativeButton("Cancel ", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            //Action for "Cancel".
            }
        });

final AlertDialog alert = dialog.create();
alert.show();

I have created a dialog for asking a Person whether he wants to call a Person or not.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class Firstclass extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.first);

        ImageView imageViewCall = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ring_mig);

        imageViewCall.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                try
                {
                    showDialog("0728570527");
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    public void showDialog(final String phone) throws Exception
    {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(Firstclass.this);

        builder.setMessage("Ring: " + phone);

        builder.setPositiveButton("Ring", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
            {
                Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);// (Intent.ACTION_CALL);

                callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone));

                startActivity(callIntent);

                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        builder.setNegativeButton("Avbryt", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
            {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        builder.show();
    }
}

Try this code

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);

    // set title
    alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("AlertDialog Title");

    // set dialog message
    alertDialogBuilder
            .setMessage("Some Alert Dialog message.")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            Toast.makeText(this, "OK button click ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }
            })
            .setNegativeButton("CANCEL",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                           Toast.makeText(this, "CANCEL button click ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });

    // create alert dialog
    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

    // show it
    alertDialog.show();

You can create the dialog box using AlertDialog.Builder

Try this:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?");

        builder.setPositiveButton("Yes, please", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                //perform any action
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Yes clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

        builder.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                //perform any action
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

        //creating alert dialog
        AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
        alertDialog.show();

To change the color of the positive & negative buttons of Alert dialog you can write the below two lines after alertDialog.show();

alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));
alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));

enter image description here

I was using this AlertDialog in button onClick method:

button.setOnClickListener(v -> {
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    LayoutInflater layoutInflaterAndroid = LayoutInflater.from(this);
    View view = layoutInflaterAndroid.inflate(R.layout.cancel_dialog, null);
    builder.setView(view);
    builder.setCancelable(false);
    final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
    alertDialog.show();

    view.findViewById(R.id.yesButton).setOnClickListener(v -> onBackPressed());
    view.findViewById(R.id.nobutton).setOnClickListener(v -> alertDialog.dismiss());
});

Just be careful when you want to dismiss the dialog - use dialog.dismiss(). In my first attempt I used dismissDialog(0) (which I probably copied from some place) which sometimes works. Using the object the system supplies sounds like a safer choice.

Simplest Solution For Kotln Developers

val alertDialogBuilder: AlertDialog.Builder = AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext())
    alertDialogBuilder.setMessage(msg)
    alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(true)

    alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton(
        getString(android.R.string.ok)

I'd like to add on David Hedlund great answer by sharing a more dynamic method than what he posted so it can be used when you do have a negative action to perform and when you don't, i hope it helps.

private void showAlertDialog(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull String alertDialogTitle, @NonNull String alertDialogMessage, @NonNull String positiveButtonText, @Nullable String negativeButtonText, @NonNull final int positiveAction, @Nullable final Integer negativeAction, @NonNull boolean hasNegativeAction)
{
    AlertDialog.Builder builder;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context, android.R.style.Theme_Material_Dialog_Alert);
    } else {
        builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
    }
    builder.setTitle(alertDialogTitle)
            .setMessage(alertDialogMessage)
            .setPositiveButton(positiveButtonText, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    switch (positiveAction)
                    {
                        case 1:
                            //TODO:Do your positive action here 
                            break;
                    }
                }
            });
            if(hasNegativeAction || negativeAction!=null || negativeButtonText!=null)
            {
            builder.setNegativeButton(negativeButtonText, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    switch (negativeAction)
                    {
                        case 1:
                            //TODO:Do your negative action here
                            break;
                        //TODO: add cases when needed
                    }
                }
            });
            }
            builder.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert);
            builder.show();
}

This is done in kotlin

val builder: AlertDialog.Builder = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            AlertDialog.Builder(this, android.R.style.Theme_Material_Dialog_Alert)
        } else {
            AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        }
        builder.setTitle("Delete Alert!")
                .setMessage("Are you want to delete this entry?")
                .setPositiveButton("YES") { dialog, which ->

                }
                .setNegativeButton("NO") { dialog, which ->

                }
                .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
                .show()

Try this for Kotlin

AlertDialog.Builder(this)
            .setTitle("Title")
            .setPositiveButton("Yes"){ dialog, which ->

            }
            .setNegativeButton("No", null)
            .setMessage("Your given alert message...")
            .show()

Make this static method and use it where ever you want.

public static void showAlertDialog(Context context, String title, String message, String posBtnMsg, String negBtnMsg) {
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
            builder.setTitle(title);
            builder.setMessage(message);
            builder.setPositiveButton(posBtnMsg, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });
            builder.setNegativeButton(negBtnMsg, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });
            AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
            dialog.show();

        }

Alert dialog with edit text

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);//Context is activity context
final EditText input = new EditText(context);

you may try this way also, it will provide you material style dialogs

private void showDialog()
{
    String text2 = "<font color=#212121>Medi Notification</font>";//for custom title color

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.AppCompatAlertDialogStyle);
    builder.setTitle(Html.fromHtml(text2));

    String text3 = "<font color=#A4A4A4>You can complete your profile now or start using the app and come back later</font>";//for custom message
    builder.setMessage(Html.fromHtml(text3));

    builder.setPositiveButton("DELETE", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
        {
            toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "DELETE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
            toast.show();              
        }
    });

    builder.setNegativeButton("CANCEL", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
        {
            toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "CANCEL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
            toast.show();
        }
    });
    builder.show();
}

Kotlin Custom dialog: In Case if you want to create custom dialog

Dialog(activity!!, R.style.LoadingIndicatorDialogStyle)
        .apply {
            // requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
            setCancelable(true)
            setContentView(R.layout.define_your_custom_view_id_here)

            //access your custom view buttons/editText like below.z
            val createBt = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.clipboard_create_project)
            val cancelBt = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.clipboard_cancel_project)
            val clipboard_et = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.clipboard_et)
            val manualOption =
                findViewById<TextView>(R.id.clipboard_manual_add_project_option)

            //if you want to perform any operation on the button do like this

            createBt.setOnClickListener {
                //handle your button click here
                val enteredData = clipboard_et.text.toString()
                if (enteredData.isEmpty()) {
                    Utils.toast("Enter project details")
                } else {
                    navigateToAddProject(enteredData, true)
                    dismiss()
                }
            }

            cancelBt.setOnClickListener {
                dismiss()
            }
            manualOption.setOnClickListener {
                navigateToAddProject("", false)
                dismiss()
            }
            show()
        }

Create LoadingIndicatorDialogStyle in style.xml

<style name="LoadingIndicatorDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">

Code to delete an entry from the list

 /*--dialog for delete entry--*/
private void cancelBookingAlert() {
    AlertDialog dialog;
    final AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this, R.style.AlertDialogCustom);
    alertDialog.setTitle("Delete Entry");
    alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?");
    alertDialog.setCancelable(false);

    alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
           //code to delete entry
        }
    });

    alertDialog.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    dialog = alertDialog.create();
    dialog.show();
}

Call above method on delete button click

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setTitle("This is Title");
    builder.setMessage("This is message for Alert Dialog");
    builder.setPositiveButton("Positive Button", (dialog, which) -> onBackPressed());
    builder.setNegativeButton("Negative Button", (dialog, which) -> dialog.cancel());
    builder.show();

This is a way which alike to create the Alert dialog with some line of code.

Now with Jetpack Compose introduced in android , you can simply create alert dialog using below code

if (viewModel.shouldDialogOpen.value) {

        AlertDialog(onDismissRequest = { viewModel.shouldDialogOpen.value = false },
            title = { Text("Delete Entry?") },
            text = {
                Text("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?")
            },
            dismissButton = {
                Button(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(), onClick = {
                    viewModel.shouldDialogOpen.value = false
                }) {
                    Text(text = "Cancel")
                }
            }, confirmButton = {
                Button(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(), onClick = {
                    viewModel.shouldDialogOpen.value = false
                    viewModel.beginDelete(recipe)
                }) {
                    Text(text = "Okay")
                }
            })
    }

Here In viewModel.shouldDialogOpen, shouldDialogOpen is a mutablestate field inside viewmodel whose value we change when we need to show or dismiss dialog.

With Anko (official library from developers of Kotlin), you can simple use

alert("Alert title").show()

or more complex one:

alert("Hi, I'm Roy", "Have you tried turning it off and on again?") {
    yesButton { toast("Oh…") }
    noButton {}
}.show()

To import Anko:

implementation "org.jetbrains.anko:anko:0.10.8"

In past few days my co-workers keep asking me about using AlertDialog in Xamarin.Android and almost all of them sent this question as the ref which they read before asking me (and didn't find the answer), so here is Xamarin.Android (C#) version:

var alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this) // this: Activity
    .SetTitle("Hello!")
    .SetMessage("Are you sure?")
    .SetPositiveButton("Ok", (sender, e) => { /* ok things */ })
    .SetNegativeButton("Cancel", (sender, e) => { /* cancel things */ })
    .Create();

alertDialog.Show();

// you can customize your AlertDialog, like so
var tvMessage = alertDialog.FindViewById<TextView>(Android.Resource.Id.Message);
tvMessage.TextSize = 13;
// ...

You can create Activity and extends AppCompatActivity. Then in the Manifest put next style:

<activity android:name=".YourCustomDialog"
            android:theme="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
</activity>

Inflate it by Buttons and TextViews

Then use this like a dialog.

For example, in the linearLayout I fill next parameters:

android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
