How to create AlertDialog in androidx.appcompat

Question

Have next import:

import androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog

And create dialog as follows:

override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Dialog {
        val adb = AlertDialog.Builder(activity!!)
                .setTitle(R.string.actions_rename_connection)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.actions_ok, this)
                .setNegativeButton(R.string.actions_cancel, this)
        val view = LayoutInflater.from(activity).inflate(R.layout.dialog_edit_name, null)
        val dialog = adb.setView(view).create()
        dialog?.window?.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE)
        return dialog
    }

But I'm not satisfied activity!!.

For example, with another import i create dialog as follows:

import android.app.AlertDialog

 override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Dialog {
        return AlertDialog.Builder(activity, R.style.MaterialThemeDialog)
                .setTitle(R.string.in_app_settings_language)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.actions_ok) { _, _ -> presenterContract.onOkClick() }
                .setNegativeButton(R.string.actions_cancel) { _, _ -> closeView() }
                .create()
    }

Q: there are some solutions where we can use activity in androidx ?

Answer 1

android.app.AlertDialog use @Nullable activity. IDE is not angry using activity for this reason.

but

androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog use @NonNull activity. You should use !! or null check for activity

I think you should use it this way

activity?.let {
                AlertDialog.Builder(it, R.style.MaterialThemeDialog)
                .setTitle(R.string.in_app_settings_language)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.actions_ok) { _, _ -> presenterContract.onOkClick() }
                .setNegativeButton(R.string.actions_cancel) { _, _ -> closeView() }
                .create()   
}
