Hello, is the AlertDialog usable in Compose Wear? If not, what would be an alternative component to use for similar interactions?

[Andrew Leung]

For example, a screen that can take up the whole space, show some description text, a confirm button, dismiss button, and even better, can be swipe to dismissed

[Alex Vanyo]

These are in-progress, and will be in the wear compose-material library here:
https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:wear/com[…]rc/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/wear/compose/material/Dialog.kt

They haven’t been released as part of an alpha yet, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try them out with a snapshot build which uses the latest tip-of-tree code: https://androidx.dev/

thanks for the reference!

[John Nichol]

you can get access to the latest snapshot release or they will be available next week in the alpha12 release

There are two styles of dialog in this release - AlertDialog which is along the lines that Andrew described above, supports icon/title/message and either positive/negative Buttons or a stack of Chips. AlertDialog is also swipe dismissable. ConfirmationDialog is for simple acknowledgements - shows icon + title and self-dismisses after a timeout.
