# Dynamic Dialogs

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202-4EB1BA.svg?)](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pranavpandey/dynamic-dialogs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pranavpandey/dynamic-dialogs)
[![Release](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/com.pranavpandey.android/dynamic-dialogs)](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.pranavpandey.android/dynamic-dialogs)

A simple library to display dialogs and dialog fragments on Android 4.0 (API 14) and above.

> Since v2.0.0, it uses [AndroidX][androidx] so, first [migrate][androidx-migrate] your
project to AndroidX.

Since v4.1.0, it is dependent on Java 8 due to the dependency on
[Dynamic Utils](https://github.com/pranavpandey/dynamic-utils).

Since v4.4.1, it is targeting Java 17 to provide maximum compatibility.

Since v4.5.0, the minimum SDK is Android 4.4 (API 19) to comply with the latest policies.

## Installation

It can be installed by adding the following dependency to your `build.gradle` file:

```groovy
dependencies {
// For AndroidX enabled projects.
implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-dialogs:4.5.0'

// For legacy projects.
implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-dialogs:1.3.0'
}
```

---

## Usage

It is a library to display dialog and dialog fragments with ease. It has some improvements
over `appcompat-v7` (or AndroidX) dialogs and shares the same behavior and methods which can be
used with any other framework or library.

> For a complete reference, please read the [documentation][documentation].

### Setup

First add `alertDialogStyle` in the base application theme to make `dynamic-dialogs` working.

```xml

<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
...

<!-- Add dynamic dialogs style in the base app theme. -->
<item name="alertDialogStyle">@style/DynamicDialog</item>

```

### DynamicDialog

It is almost identical to the `AppCompatDialog` but provides scroll indicators at top and bottom
for the custom dialogs also. So, if you are using any scrollable view in your custom dialog like
`NestedScrollView` or `RecyclerView`, it can be set as `root view` and the scroll indicators will be
added automatically if the view can be scrolled.

```java
new DynamicDialog.Builder(context)
// Set dialog title.
.setTitle(...)
...
// Set a custom view.
.setView(int layoutResId)
// OR
setView(View view)
// Set view root to automatically add scroll dividers.
.setViewRoot(int viewRootId)
// OR
.setViewRoot(View viewRoot)
// Show the dialog.
.show();
```

### DynamicDialogFragment

Base dialog fragment to provide all the functionality of `DynamicDialog` inside a fragment. It can
be extended to customise it further by overriding the supported methods.

```java
public CustomDialogFragment extends DynamicDialogFragment {

...

/**
* Override this method to customise the dynamic dialog builder before creating the dialog.
*
* @param dialogBuilder The current builder to be customised.
* @param savedInstanceState The saved state of the fragment to restore it later.
*
* @return The customised dynamic dialog builder.
*/
@Override
protected @NonNull DynamicDialog.Builder onCustomiseBuilder(
@NonNull DynamicDialog.Builder dialogBuilder, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO: Customise the dialog here.
...

return dialogBuilder;
}

/**
* Override this method to customise the dynamic dialog before attaching it with
* this fragment.
*
* @param alertDialog The current dialog to be customised.
* @param savedInstanceState The saved state of the fragment to restore it later.
*
* @return The customised dynamic dialog.
*/
protected @NonNull DynamicDialog onCustomiseDialog(@NonNull DynamicDialog alertDialog,
@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO: Customise the dialog builder here.
...

return alertDialog;
}

...
}
```

#### Show dialog

Show the `DynamicDialogFragment` by using `showDialog(fragmentActivity)` method.

> For better understanding, please check `AboutDialogFragment` in the `sample` project.

#### Dialog state

It will automatically maintain its state on configuration changes (like device rotation, etc.)
by calling `setRetainInstance(true)` in `onCreate()` method. If you don't want to use this feature
(generally, if you are displaying it in `onResume()` method) then, call `setAutoDismiss(true)` to
dismiss it in `onPause()` method.

```java
DynamicDialogFragment.newInstance().
...
// Dismiss dialog fragment on configuration changes.
.setAutoDismiss(true)
// Show the dialog fragment.
.showDialog(fragmentActivity);

```

#### Dialog builder

To show quick `DynamicDialogFragment`, you can use its `setBuilder(DynamicDialog.Builder)` method
and pass `DynamicDialog.Builder` with all the customisations. It will automatically wrap it in a
`DialogFragment` and use `showDialog(fragmentActivity)` method to display it.

```java
DynamicDialogFragment.newInstance().setBuilder(
new DynamicDialog.Builder(context)
// Set dialog title.
.setTitle(...)
// Set dialog message.
.setMessage(...)
// Set negative button with a click listener.
.setNegativeButton(..., clickListener))
// Show the dialog fragment.
.showDialog(fragmentActivity);
```

#### Dialog callbacks

As `DialogFragment` has required some extra work to get the event callbacks, it already has all the
listeners of `DynamicDialog.Builder` built-in so that there is no extra effort is required.

```java
DynamicDialogFragment.newInstance()
...
// Callback when this dialog fragment is displayed.
.setOnShowListener(onShowListener)
// Callback when this dialog fragment has been dismissed.
.setOnDismissListener(onDismissListener)
// Callback when this dialog fragment has been canceled.
.setOnCancelListener(onCancelListener)
// Callback when a key is pressed in this dialog fragment.
.setOnKeyListener(onKeyListener)
// Show the dialog fragment.
.showDialog(fragmentActivity);

```

> For better understanding, please check `CustomDialogFragment` in the `sample` project.

### Dependency

It depends on the [dynamic-utils][dynamic-utils] to perform various internal operations. So, its
functions can also be used to perform other useful operations.
