material-dialogs VS simple-stack

What part of the chat exactly are you asking about? There are multiple things at play here. E.g For the bottom sheet, you can check out this library: https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs/blob/main/documentation/BOTTOMSHEETS.md. For the elevation/shadow effect, check this out: https://proandroiddev.com/statelistanimator-a-powerful-little-tool-for-elevation-animation-4b31781e98a0

Seeing how the go-to library for Material Dialogs (2 and below) has not been updated in the last 2+ years, does anyone have a replacement or fork they’re happy with?

I use Material Dialog https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs which allows you to pass in HTML for the message which uses the color as I defined here.

As someone who had been using single-activity since 2015 (a'la Flow) and eventually just rewrote the whole thing to fix all the bugs we had with it in 2017, I find it sad that the single-activity approach was questioned not because it was harder, but because people made their own lives harder. And then Google made their lives harder.

I've been using single-activity but with Simple-Stack since 2016 and never deprecated it because Navigation just has these quirks that impede you a lot. I know how to use it but wouldn't really pick it.

This is why we've been using https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it was never deprecated. We've been using it for 6 years, I'd say there was a critical bug but it was fixed in 2.3.1...

I mean, we use Simple-Stack because it makes things easier, if it didn't we'd have ditched it long ago https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack

Agreed. I also added support for it 2 weeks ago.

I don't, because we use this and it's better than activities+intents 😅

We've been making single activity apps with https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it has been easier than multi-activity.

I still use https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack to this day, although I still use it with fragments.

I have been using Fragments instead of compound viewgroups lately with simple-stack as the navigator for the single-activity, although I need to figure out how to switch to use onBackPressed+onBackInvokedCallback and not just onBackPressed.

You can think of Simple-Stack as a direct successor of Mortar+Flow.
