Types of Dialog

MaterialDialog library provides two types of dialog i.e.

MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

i. Gradle

In Build.gradle of app module, include these dependencies. If you want to show animations, include Lottie animation library. This library is available on MavenCentreal

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {

    // Material Dialog Library
    implementation 'dev.shreyaspatil.MaterialDialog:MaterialDialog:2.2.3'

    // Material Design Library
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

    // Lottie Animation Library
    implementation 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:3.3.6'
}

ii. Set up Material Theme

Setting Material Theme to app is necessary before implementing Material Dialog library. To set it up, update styles.xml of values directory in app. styles.xml

<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        ...
    </style>
</resources>

These are required prerequisites to implement Material Dialog library.

iii. Customize Dialog Theme (Optional)

If you want to customize dialog view, you can override style in styles.xml as below.

<!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/montserrat</item>

        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="material_dialog_background">#FFFFFF</item>
        <item name="material_dialog_title_text_color">#000000</item>
        <item name="material_dialog_message_text_color">#5F5F5F</item>
        <item name="material_dialog_positive_button_color">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="material_dialog_positive_button_text_color">#FFFFFF</item>
        <item name="material_dialog_negative_button_text_color">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

Create Dialog Instance

As there are two types of dialogs in library. Material Dialogs are instantiated as follows.

i. Material Dialog

MaterialDialog class is used to create Material Dialog. Its static Builder class is used to instantiate it. After building, to show the dialog, show() method of MaterialDialog is used.

MaterialDialog mDialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                .setTitle("Delete?")
                .setMessage("Are you sure want to delete this file?")
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton("Delete", R.drawable.ic_delete, new MaterialDialog.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int which) {
                        // Delete Operation
                    }
                })
                .setNegativeButton("Cancel", R.drawable.ic_close, new MaterialDialog.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int which) {
                        dialogInterface.dismiss();
                    }
                })
                .build();

        // Show Dialog
        mDialog.show();

ii. Bottom Sheet Material Dialog

BottomSheetMaterialDialog class is used to create Bottom Sheet Material Dialog. Its static Builder class is used to instantiate it. After building, to show the dialog, show() method of BottomSheetMaterialDialog is used.

BottomSheetMaterialDialog mBottomSheetDialog = new BottomSheetMaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                .setTitle("Delete?")
                .setMessage("Are you sure want to delete this file?")
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton("Delete", R.drawable.ic_delete, new BottomSheetMaterialDialog.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int which) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Deleted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        dialogInterface.dismiss();
                    }
                })
                .setNegativeButton("Cancel", R.drawable.ic_close, new BottomSheetMaterialDialog.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int which) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        dialogInterface.dismiss();
                    }
                })
                .build();

        // Show Dialog
        mBottomSheetDialog.show();

Text Alignment

Following Alignment Enum Values are allowed to be used for Dialog text alignment:

  • TextAlignment.START: Aligns text at start / left.
  • TextAlignment.CENTER: Aligns text at center.
  • TextAlignment.END: Aligns text at end / right. Example usage:
MaterialDialog mDialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                .setTitle("Lorem Ipsum Title", TextAlignment.START)
                .setMessage("Lorem Ipsum Message", TextAlignment.START)

HTML formatting for Message

HTML spanned text is supported only for dialog's message. While setting a message, you can directly provide Spanned instance as shown in following example.

MaterialDialog mDialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                .setMessage(Html.fromText("<b>Lorem <i>Ipsum</i></b>. <br> Click <a href=\"https://example.com\">here</a> for more information"))

Show Animations

MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

For example, here delete_anim.json animation file is used to show file delete animation.

i. Using Resource File

Resource Downloaded json file should placed in raw directory of res. MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

In code, setAnimation() method of Builder is used to set Animation to the dialog. Prototype : setAnimation(int resourceId) Resource file should be passed to method. e.g. R.raw.delete_anim.

MaterialButton mDialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                .setAnimation(R.raw.delete_anim)

ii. Using Asset File

Asset Downloaded json file should placed in asset directory. MaterialDialog Libraries Tutorial

In code, setAnimation() method of Builder is used to set Animation to the dialog. Prototype: setAnimation(String fileName) Only file name with extensions should passed to method.

MaterialButton mDialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this)
                // Other Methods to create Dialog........               
                .setAnimation("delete_anim.json")               
                //...

iii. Getting LottieAnimationView

LottieAnimationView To get View of Animation for any operations, there is a method in Material Dialogs which returns LottieAnimationView of dialog.

// Get Animation View
        LottieAnimationView animationView = mDialog.getAnimationView();
        // Do operations on animationView

Dialog State Listeners

There are three callback events and listeners for Dialog. Following are interfaces for implementations:

  • OnShowListener() - Listens for dialog Show event. Its onShow() is invoked when dialog is displayed.
  • OnCancelListener() - Listens for dialog Cancel event. Its onCancel() is invoked when dialog is cancelled.
  • OnDismissListener() - Listens for dialog Dismiss event. Its onDismiss() is dismiss when dialog is dismissed.
... 
       mDialog.setOnShowListener(this);
       mDialog.setOnCancelListener(this);
       mDialog.setOnDismissListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {
        // Dialog is Displayed
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {
        // Dialog is Cancelled
    }

    @Override
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {
        // Dialog is Dismissed
    }
}

Full Example

Let us look at a full MaterialDialog Example below.

Step 1. Design Layouts

(a). activity_main.xml

Our activity_main layout.

Design your XML layout using the following 3 UI widgets and ViewGroups:

  1. androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
  2. LinearLayout
  3. com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="dev.shreyaspatil.MaterialDialogExample.MainActivity">

    <LinearLayout
        android:padding="16dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:id="@+id/button_simple_dialog"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:text="Simple Material Dialog"
            android:textAllCaps="false" />

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:id="@+id/button_simple_bottomsheet_dialog"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:textAllCaps="false"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:text="Simple Bottomsheet Material Dialog" />

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:id="@+id/button_animated_dialog"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:textAllCaps="false"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:text="Animated Material Dialog" />

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:id="@+id/button_animated_bottomsheet_dialog"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:textAllCaps="false"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:text="Animated Bottomsheet Material Dialog" />
    </LinearLayout>

</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Step 2. Write Code

Finally we need to write our code as follows:

(a). MainActivity.java

Our MainActivity class.

Here is the full code:

package replace_with_your_package_name;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener, OnShowListener, OnCancelListener, OnDismissListener {

    private MaterialDialog mSimpleDialog;
    private MaterialDialog mAnimatedDialog;
