AlertDialog

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

AlertDialogs provide important prompts in a user flow. They can require an action, communicate information, or help users accomplish a task. The AlertDialog is scrollable by default if the content exceeds the viewport height.

This overload has 2 [Button]s for confirmation and cancellation, placed horizontally at the bottom of the dialog. It should be used when the user will be presented with a binary decision, to either confirm or dismiss an action.

Overloads

@Composable
fun AlertDialog(
    show: Boolean,
    onDismissRequest: () -> Unit,
    confirmButton: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit,
    title: @Composable () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    dismissButton: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit = {
        AlertDialogDefaults.DismissButton(onDismissRequest)
    },
    icon: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    text: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = AlertDialogDefaults.VerticalArrangement,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = AlertDialogDefaults.confirmDismissContentPadding(),
    properties: DialogProperties = DialogProperties(),
    content: (ScalingLazyListScope.() -> Unit)? = null
)

Parameters

namedescription
showA boolean indicating whether the dialog should be displayed.
onDismissRequestA lambda function to be called when the dialog is dismissed by swiping right (typically also called by the [dismissButton]).
confirmButtonA slot for a [Button] indicating positive sentiment. Clicking the button must remove the dialog from the composition hierarchy e.g. by setting [show] to false. It's recommended to use [AlertDialogDefaults.ConfirmButton] in this slot with onClick callback.
titleA slot for displaying the title of the dialog. Title should contain a summary of the dialog's purpose or content and should not exceed 3 lines of text.
modifierModifier to be applied to the dialog content.
dismissButtonA slot for a [Button] indicating negative sentiment. Clicking the button must remove the dialog from the composition hierarchy e.g. by setting [show] to false. It's recommended to use [AlertDialogDefaults.DismissButton] in this slot with onClick callback.
iconOptional slot for an icon to be shown at the top of the dialog.
textOptional slot for displaying the message of the dialog below the title. Should contain additional text that presents further details about the dialog's purpose if the title is insufficient.
verticalArrangementThe vertical arrangement of the dialog's children. There is a default padding between icon, title, and text, which will be added to the spacing specified in this [verticalArrangement] parameter.
contentPaddingThe padding to apply around the entire dialog's contents.
propertiesAn optional [DialogProperties] object for configuring the dialog's behavior.
contentA slot for additional content, displayed within a scrollable [ScalingLazyColumn].
@Composable
fun AlertDialog(
    show: Boolean,
    onDismissRequest: () -> Unit,
    title: @Composable () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    icon: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    text: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = AlertDialogDefaults.VerticalArrangement,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = AlertDialogDefaults.contentPadding(),
    properties: DialogProperties = DialogProperties(),
    content: (ScalingLazyListScope.() -> Unit)? = null
)
