```alert("We can't show your position because you generally disabled the location service for your device.") {
        yesButton {
        }
        neutralPressed("Settings") {
            startActivity(Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS))
        }
    }.show()```

looks like Anko: <https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/wiki/Anko-Commons-%E2%80%93-Dialogs#alerts>

which is now deprecated. various bits of it have different replacements; if you're interested in the declarative DSL, look into <#CJLTWPH7S|compose>

For AlertDialogs, what's into <#CHJP9K00L|splitties> will probably better suit your use cases:
<https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/main/modules/alertdialog-material>
<https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/main/modules/alertdialog-appcompat>

and for coroutines controlled logic: <https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/main/modules/alertdialog-appcompat-coroutines>.

Also, if it's about requesting permissions, you might be interested in using the above linked bits with that: <https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/main/modules/permissions>
