NewItemDialog
    .init(this)
    .setVersionName("1.2.0")
    .setDialogTitle("New Features of 1.2.0 Version!")
    .setPositiveButtonTitle("Close")
    .setNeutralButtonTitle("Show Me Later")
    .setCancelable(false)
    .setItems(arrayList)
    .setUsePaletteForDescBackground(false) //This can be used for adjusting not using palette (Can be Used For Night Mode)
    .setUsePaletteForImageBackground(false) //This can be used for adjusting not using palette (Can be Used For Night Mode)
    .setCancelButtonListener(new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Close Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
         }
    })
    .setShowLaterButtonListener(new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Remind Me Later Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
         }
    })
    .showDialog(this);

Note

• Use showDialogIfConditionsSuitable() for showing dialog by checking the condition. Dialog will not shown if condition is not satisfied. In other words, user closes the dialog which has the same version name before.
• Use showDialog() for force show of the dialog without checking the condition.
• Use isConditionsSuitable() to check if dialog is shown or not.
• Use clearSharedPref() to delete condition storages.
