Description

Hi, I'm running into this issue where when I'm using this library, that Android Studio gives me an error, saying that the DialogFragment API is deprecated. If I've understood the Android documentation correctly, we could solve this problem by switching to the support library or to androidX.

What do you think?

Cheers, Tom

Research direction
Investigate the deprecation of DialogFragment in Android and migrate the codebase to use AndroidX's Fragment library. The issue suggests replacing the deprecated DialogFragment with the AndroidX version. Look at the current usage in the repository (e.g., Dialogs.kt or similar) and update imports, dependencies, and any related methods. Ensure backward compatibility by testing on older API levels if needed. Check if any other parts of the library rely on the deprecated API and update them accordingly.
