Jetpack Compose: How to show Alert Dialog with a single item's information from LazyColumn clicked item? - android-alertdialog

Question

I'm working on a simple project where I import a database of inventory items with room and can modify inventory according to changes. I'm struggling with the LazyColumn.
What I need: When an item from LazyColumn is clicked, show alert dialog with item info.
What happens: When an item from LazyColumn is clicked, it shows all the items alert dialog (generates 100+ alert dialogs and only the last one is visible).
Application Main page with LazyColumn:
After clicking on item shows huge shadow of 100+ Alert dialogs and only the last item is visible:
//custom alert dialog taking parameters from the database class of the inventory items
#Composable
fun ItemAlertDialog(
onDismiss: () -> Unit,
onNegativeClick: () -> Unit,
onPositiveClick: () -> Unit,
currentInventory: Int,
itemDescription: String,
itemNumber: String,
) {
var incoming by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
var outgoing by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
Dialog(onDismissRequest = onDismiss) {
Card(
elevation = 8.dp,
shape = RoundedCornerShape(12.dp)
) {
Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp)) {
Text(
text = itemNumber,
fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,
fontSize = 20.sp,
modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp)
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(8.dp))
Text(
text = itemDescription,
fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,
fontSize = 15.sp,
modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp)
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(8.dp))
Text(
text = currentInventory.toString(),
fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold,
color = Color(0xFF0FFC107),
fontSize = 20.sp,
modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp)
)
// Update Inventory
Row(
verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.Center
) {
Column {
Text(text = "Incoming ${incoming.toInt()}")
Slider(
value = incoming,
onValueChange = { incoming = it },
valueRange = 0f..100f,
onValueChangeFinished = {}
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(8.dp))
Text(text = "Outgoing ${outgoing.toInt()}")
Slider(
value = outgoing,
onValueChange = { outgoing = it },
valueRange = 0f..100f,
onValueChangeFinished = {}
)
}
}
// Buttons
Row(
horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.End,
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
) {
TextButton(onClick = onNegativeClick) {
Text(text = "CANCEL")
}
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(4.dp))
TextButton(onClick = {
onPositiveClick.invoke()
}) {
Text(text = "OK")
}
}
}
}
}
}
Items row code with the onclick I want to fire the dialog with:
#Composable
fun MainScreenItemRow(
itemNumber: String,
itemDescription: String,
currentInventory: Int,
onclick: () -> Unit
) {
Row(modifier = Modifier
.clickable {
onclick.invoke()
}
.border(width = 1.dp, color = Color.Gray, shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp))
.padding(16.dp)
.clip(shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp)),
horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceBetween,
verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
) {
Text(
text = itemNumber,
fontSize = 12.sp,
fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,
modifier = Modifier.weight(3f)
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(10.dp))
Text(
text = itemDescription,
fontSize = 12.sp,
maxLines = 3,
modifier = Modifier.weight(4f)
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(30.dp))
Text(
text = currentInventory.toString(),
fontSize = 20.sp,
color = Color(0xFF0FFC107),
modifier = Modifier.weight(1f)
)
}
}

Thank you #Philip Dukhov
I've tried doing this previously and couldn't get the item.Number, item.description, item.inventory at all (val not resolved) so used the inventoryList since I could get it at least smething which was the wrong approach per your suggestion.
I learned a thing or two in the last few days struggling, so with your tip I managed to achive what I need. Not sure it's the right way but it works now. On to the next struggle!
//***Modified the selected Item from val selectedItem = remember{ mutableStateOf(randomList[0])} to separate 3:
val selectedItemNumber = remember{ mutableStateOf(randomList[0])}
val selectedItemDescription = remember{ mutableStateOf(randomList[0])}
val selectedItemInventory = remember{ mutableStateOf(randomList[0])}
LazyColumn(
verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp),
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxSize()
.padding(16.dp)
) {
itemsIndexed(inventoryList) { idx, item ->
item.currentInventory?.let {
MainScreenItemRow(
itemNumber = item.itemNumber,
itemDescription = item.itemDescription,
currentInventory = it,
onclick = {
selectedItemNumber.value = item.itemNumber
selectedItemDescription.value = item.itemDescription
selectedItemInventory.value = item.currentInventory.toString()
Log.d("MainActivityItemClicked", "$selectedItemDescription ")
showItemDialog.value = true
}
)
}
}
}
if (showItemDialog.value) {
ItemAlertDialog(
itemNumber = selectedItemNumber.value,
itemDescription = selectedItemDescription.value,
currentInventory = selectedItemInventory.value.toInt(),
onDismiss = {
showItemDialog.value = !showItemDialog.value
Toast.makeText(
this#MainActivity,
"Dialog dismissed!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
)
.show()
},
onNegativeClick = {
showItemDialog.value = !showItemDialog.value
Toast.makeText(
this#MainActivity,
"Cancel!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
)
.show()
},
onPositiveClick = {
showItemDialog.value = !showItemDialog.value
Toast.makeText(
this#MainActivity,
"Saved!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
)
.show()
}
)
}
