## What it is
A beautiful, fluid, and extensible dialogs API for Kotlin and Android, built on Material Design. It provides a core module plus extensions for text input, file/folder choosers, and color pickers.

## Use cases
- show material design alert dialogs in android apps
- prompt user for text input with a dialog in kotlin
- build a file and folder picker dialog on android
- create color picker dialogs in android
- show bottom sheets in an android app
- replace android's default dialogs with styled material ones

## When to choose
- you're building a Kotlin Android app and want polished, extensible Material dialogs
- you need ready-made dialogs for input, file selection, or color picking
- you want a widely used, well-documented dialog library with modular dependencies

## When to avoid
- your project is Java-only, since 2.x+ is Kotlin-only and the Java version is unsupported
- you need Jetpack Compose dialogs rather than View-based ones
- you need actively developed features, as the project is in maintenance with infrequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-design

- tags: material-design, dialogs, bottom-sheets, androidx, alert-dialogs, file-chooser, android
