Research direction
Examine the dialog layouts in the Anki Android project, likely in res/layout/ directory. Refer to issue #20477 for an example of input stepper implementation. Modifications include replacing the existing 'Learn ahead limit' and 'Timebox time limit' dialogs with input steppers, limiting input to 3 digits, changing the 'OK' button to 'Save', and adding a unit (min) and description about disabling with 0. Check the corresponding Kotlin files for dialog logic.
