Alerter is an Android library written in Kotlin that displays customisable alert views overlaid on the window's decor view, as an alternative to Toasts and Snackbars. It uses a builder pattern for simple integration and supports custom colours, icons, durations, and click listeners.

Use cases

  • show alert messages in an android app
  • replace toasts and snackbars with a custom alert
  • display a full-width notification banner overlay
  • show coloured alerts with icons in android
  • add clickable alert messages from activities or fragments

When to choose

  • you need customisable, overlay-style alerts beyond what Toast or Snackbar offers
  • you want a simple builder-pattern API for Android alerts
  • your app targets older Android APIs (14+)

When to avoid

  • you only need simple, standard Toasts or Snackbars
  • you need alerts inside dialogs or non-Activity contexts
  • you need a library under heavy active development
