Alerter - An Android Alerter Library, now in Kotlin!

This library aims to overcome the limitations of Toasts and Snackbars, while reducing the complexity of your layouts.

General

With simplicity in mind, the Alerter employs the builder pattern to facilitate easy integration into any app. A customisable Alert View is dynamically added to the Decor View of the Window, overlaying all content.

Gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.tapadoo.android:alerter:$current-version'
}

Kotlin

Version 3.0.0 and above requires Kotlin

AndroidX

Version 4.0.0 includes support for AndroidX dependencies. If you experience issues with this update, please ensure you have enabled AndroidX & Jetifier in your gradle.properties file:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Usage

From an Activity -

Alerter.create(this@DemoActivity)
       .setTitle("Alert Title")
       .setText("Alert text...")
       .show()

Or from a Fragment -

Alerter.create(activity)
       .setTitle("Alert Title")
       .setText("Alert text...")
       .show()

To check if an alert is showing -

Alerter.isShowing()

To hide a currently showing Alert -

Alerter.hide()

Alerter.create(this@DemoActivity)
       .setTitle("Alert Title")
       .setText("Alert text...")
       .setBackgroundColorRes(R.color.colorAccent) // or setBackgroundColorInt(Color.CYAN)
       .show()

 Alerter.create(this@KotlinDemoActivity)
        .setTitle("Alert Title")

        .setOnShowListener(OnShowAlertListener {
            Toast.makeText(this@KotlinDemoActivity, "Show Alert", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        })
        .setOnHideListener(OnHideAlertListener {

        })
        .show()

 Alerter.create(this@KotlinDemoActivity)
        .setTitle(R.string.title_activity_example)
        .setText("Alert text...")
        .addButton("Okay", R.style.AlertButton, View.OnClickListener {
            Toast.makeText(this@KotlinDemoActivity, "Okay Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        })
        .addButton("No", R.style.AlertButton, View.OnClickListener {
