AlertDialog in Android using Jetpack Compose

AlertDialog shows the Alert message and gives the answer in the form of yes or no. Alert Dialog displays the message to warn you and then according to your response, the next step is processed. Android Alert Dialog is built with the use of three fields: Title, Message area, Action Button.

We have seen AlertDialog in many of the apps, this is used to display a kind of message to our users. In this article, we will see the implementation of Alert Dialog in Android using Jetpack Compose.

Step by Step Implementation

Step 1: Create a New Project

To create a new project in the Android Studio Canary Version please refer to How to Create a new Project in Android Studio Canary Version with Jetpack Compose.

Step 2: Working with the MainActivity.kt file

Navigate to the app > java > your app’s package name and open the MainActivity.kt file. Inside that file add the below code to it. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.
