private var instructionsView: DialogInterface? = null

    private fun showInstructionView() {
        instructionsView?.dismiss()
        instructionsView =
            context.alert {
                customView {
                    include<View>(R.layout.instruction_view)
                }
                onCancelled { App.unwindToMainMenu() }
            }.show()

Is there any way to animate this so it fades into/out of view?

Just like with any Android AlertDialog, by setting animations.

@miha-x64 I don’t have an AlertDialog, I have a DialogInterface

@bryan alert { ... } should return an AlertDialog

[bryan]

@louiscad

[bryan]

@louiscad It actually returns an AlertBuilder<DialogInterface>

[louiscad]

@bryan I personally use Splitties alterdialog-appcompat, which returns the dialog directly. You can try it, it is similar to Anko's (full disclosure: I made the library)

@louiscad I’ll check it out.
