Reimagining Android Dialogs with Jetpack Compose
summary
A Compose-based overlay system replaces Android window dialogs with in-app composables that share composition, layout, and draw phases. Benchmarks show 26% faster frame rendering and 35% lower frame overrun for dialogs, bottom-sheet P99 drops from ~70ms to ~60ms, and memory snapshots show 3+ MB smaller heap with ~100k fewer objects. Reimplements touch blocking, accessibility focus, IME resize/pan via modifiers, enables reliable previews and Pupparazzi tests, supports bottom sheets, popovers, dialogs (toasts planned) and runs on Compose Multiplatform.
