Some Differences with and without suspend

Confirm

The below example shows how a normal dialog is shown without any suspension

MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
    .setTitle("Title")
    .setMessage("Message")
    .setPositiveButton("Positive") { _, _ ->
        // code to execute
    }
    .setNegativeButton("Negative") { _, _ ->
        // code to execute
    }
    .setNeutralButton("Neutral") { _, _ ->
        // code to execute
    }
    .show()
        
    // this code is executed before the dialog is finished
    println("Hello World")

Now, using the suspend dialog, we can wait for the dialog to be finish after continue with rest of the code flow

val result = SuspendAlertDialog.confirm(
    positiveButtonText = "Positive",
    negativeButtonText = "Negative",
    neutralButtonText = "Neutral"
) {
    MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
        .setTitle("Title")
        .setMessage("Message")
}

// this line is executed after the dialog above is finish
tvResult.text = result.toString()

If you are fan of extension functions, the below approach can be used to achieve the same behavior as above.

val result = MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
    .setTitle("Title")
    .setMessage("Message")
    .confirm(
        positiveButtonText = "Save",
        negativeButtonText = "Cancel",
        neutralButtonText = "Neutral",
    )

tvResult.text = result.toString()

Alert

SuspendAlertDialog.alert("Ok") {
    MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity).setTitle("Selected Option")
}

tvResult.text = getString(R.string.alert_finished)

Using extension function

MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
    .setTitle("Selected Option")
    .alert("Ok")

tvResult.text = getString(R.string.alert_finished)

Multi Choice Items

val multiChoiceResult = SuspendAlertDialog.setMultiChoiceItems(
        positiveButtonText = "Save",
        negativeButtonText = "Cancel",
        neutralButtonText = "Minimize",
        items = SuspendAlertDialog.MultiChoiceItems(
            items = listOf("Hello", "World", "Berlin", "Germany"),
            checked = listOf(false, false, false, false)
        )
) {
    MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity).setTitle("Title")
}

tvResult.text = multiChoiceResult.toString()

Using extension function

val result = MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
    .setTitle("Title")
    .setMultiChoiceItems(
        positiveButtonText = "Save",
        negativeButtonText = "Cancel",
        neutralButtonText = "Minimize",
        items = SuspendAlertDialog.MultiChoiceItems(
            items = listOf("Hello", "World", "Berlin", "Germany"),
            checked = listOf(false, false, false, false)
        )
    )

tvResult.text = result.toString()

Single Choice Items

val singleChoiceResult = SuspendAlertDialog.setSingleChoiceItems(
    positiveButtonText = "Save",
    negativeButtonText = "Cancel",
    neutralButtonText = "Minimize",
    items = SuspendAlertDialog.SingleChoiceItems(
        items = listOf("Hello", "World", "Berlin", "Germany"),
        selectedIndex = 1
    )
) {
  MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity).setTitle("Title")
}

tvResult.text = singleChoiceResult.toString()

Using extension function

val result = MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@MainActivity)
    .setTitle("Title")
    .setSingleChoiceItems(
        positiveButtonText = "Save",
        negativeButtonText = "Cancel",
        neutralButtonText = "Minimize",
        items = SuspendAlertDialog.SingleChoiceItems(
            items = listOf("Hello", "World", "Berlin", "Germany"),
            selectedIndex = 1
        )
    )

tvResult.text = result.toString()
