Material Dialogs is a dialogs API for Kotlin & Android — a library for showing beautiful, fluid, extensible dialogs in your app.Is this a library I add to my Android app, or a standalone app?It's a library, not a standalone app: you depend on its modules from your Android project and show dialogs through its API. The core module is the fundamental one; the rest extend it.
