RxDialog oneliners

My two cents: out of scope for this library.

To me, it seems like a fairly large task to make a proper Rx dialog library. There's a lot of depth to dialogs, if you're dealing with them in a general sense, since you can do just about anything with them - they're just floating windows.

Okay, assume my pitch is out and I put my weekends on another library. What does a proper stock Rx dialog library need? So far I have listeners for each of the mentioned types, and styling is still done at theme level. Rotation has to be handled outside the library.

I do so many crazy things with dialogs that I don't think a library could ever cover all the use cases. E.g., some dialogs have custom layouts inside of them which have lots of logic/control outside the bounds of any normal dialog listener.

If I were to make a library I'd make it tightly focused on some very common use cases, such as displaying a title/message/buttons. Once you start expanding beyond that (into things like adapters and custom views) it gets a lot more complex.

Yes, if you want the custom ones. I was thinking something more generic for those cases, with stock UI components like a simple picker. Without styling and only allowing changes to icon, title, message, and elements or boundaries; most of them are trivial to wire.
