How to create popup message using Alerter Library in android

In this article, we learn about how to create a popup message with the help of Alerter Library. It is better to use Alerter than using Toast or Snackbar in cases if some alert messages are to be displayed to the user. We can add various onClickListeners to our alerter message which makes it better and it also has nice appealing UI. Approach:

1. Add the support Library in build.gradle file and add dependency in the dependencies section. This library facilitates easy integration of Alert View in the app. The alert view is customizable and it is displayed over the ongoing activity in the app. This library is also compatible with AndroidX. 

XML

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.tapadoo.android:alerter:2.0.4'
}

1. Now add the following code in the activity_main.xml file. This codes add a button in the MainActivity and if the button is clicked then showAlerter function is invoked. 

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="showAlerter"
        android:text="Show Alerter"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
