Alert

Component
in
Wear Material
. Since 1.0.0

Overview

Code Examples

Alert lays out the content for an opinionated, alert screen. This overload offers 5 slots for title, negative button, positive button, optional icon and optional content. The buttons are shown side-by-side below the icon, text and content. Alert is scrollable by default if the content is taller than the viewport.

Alert can be used as a destination in a navigation graph e.g. using SwipeDismissableNavHost. However, for a conventional fullscreen dialog, displayed on top of other content, use Dialog.

Example of an Alert with an icon, title, body text and buttons:

Overloads

Alert

@Composable
public fun Alert(
    title: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit,
    negativeButton: @Composable () -> Unit,
    positiveButton: @Composable () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    icon: @Composable (ColumnScope.() -> Unit)? = null,
    scrollState: ScalingLazyListState = rememberScalingLazyListState(),
    backgroundColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.background,
    contentColor: Color = contentColorFor(backgroundColor),
    titleColor: Color = contentColor,
    iconColor: Color = contentColor,
    verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = DialogDefaults.AlertVerticalArrangement,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = DialogDefaults.ContentPadding,
    content: @Composable (ColumnScope.() -> Unit)? = null
)

Parameters

NameDescription
titleA slot for displaying the title of the dialog, expected to be one or two lines of text.
negativeButtonA slot for a Button indicating negative sentiment (e.g. No). Clicking the button must remove the dialog from the composition hierarchy.
positiveButtonA slot for a Button indicating positive sentiment (e.g. Yes). Clicking the button must remove the dialog from the composition hierarchy.
modifierModifier to be applied to the dialog content.
iconOptional slot for an icon to be shown at the top of the dialog.
scrollStateThe scroll state for the dialog so that the scroll position can be displayed e.g. by the PositionIndicator passed to Scaffold.
backgroundColorColor representing the background color for the dialog.
contentColorColor representing the color for content.
titleColorColor representing the color for title.
iconColorIcon Color that defaults to contentColor, unless specifically overridden.
verticalArrangementThe vertical arrangement of the dialog's children. This allows us to add spacing between items and specify the arrangement of the items when we have not enough of them to fill the whole minimum size.
contentPaddingThe padding to apply around the whole of the dialog's contents.
contentA slot for additional content, expected to be 2-3 lines of text
