# Display list of all annotations in document

Discover how to use the AnnotationDialogFragment to manage annotations in a PDF document with ease. Learn how to show, listen for events, and set read-only access for annotations. Optimize your PDF vi

The [`AnnotationDialogFragment`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/controls/AnnotationDialogFragment.html) displays a list of all annotations in a document being viewed by a [`PDFViewCtrl`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/PDFViewCtrl.html). The list also contains any comments that have been added to the annotations.

## Show annotation dialog

To show an annotation dialog fragment in your activity, create a new instance of [`AnnotationDialogFragment`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/controls/AnnotationDialogFragment.html) by calling `newInstance()` and setting the [`PDFViewCtrl`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/PDFViewCtrl.html):

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```java
BookmarksDialogFragment showBookmarksDialog(FragmentManager fragmentManager, PDFViewCtrl pdfViewCtrl) {
    DialogFragmentTab annotationsDialog = new DialogFragmentTab(
        AnnotationDialogFragment.class,
        BookmarksTabLayout.TAG_TAB_ANNOTATION,
        null,
        "Annotations",
        "Bookmarks Dialog",
        null);
    ArrayList<DialogFragmentTab> dialogFragmentTabs = new ArrayList<>();
    dialogFragmentTabs.add(annotationsDialog);

    BookmarksDialogFragment bookmarksDialog = BookmarksDialogFragment.newInstance();
    bookmarksDialog.setPdfViewCtrl(pdfViewCtrl)
        .setDialogFragmentTabs(dialogFragmentTabs);
    bookmarksDialog.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.PDFTronAppTheme);   
    bookmarksDialog.show(fragmentManager, "bookmarks_dialog");
    return bookmarksDialog;
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```kotlin
fun showBookmarksDialog(fragmentManager: FragmentManager, pdfViewCtrl: PDFViewCtrl): BookmarksDialogFragment {
    val annotationsDialog = DialogFragmentTab(
        AnnotationDialogFragment::class.java!!,
        BookmarksTabLayout.TAG_TAB_ANNOTATION,
        null,
        "Annotations",
        "Bookmarks Dialog", null)
    val dialogFragmentTabs = ArrayList<DialogFragmentTab>()
    dialogFragmentTabs.add(annotationsDialog)
    
    val bookmarksDialog = BookmarksDialogFragment.newInstance()
    bookmarksDialog.setPdfViewCtrl(pdfViewCtrl)
                   .setDialogFragmentTabs(dialogFragmentTabs)
    bookmarksDialog.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.PDFTronAppTheme)
    bookmarksDialog.show(fragmentManager, "bookmarks_dialog")
    return bookmarksDialog
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Listener

By calling `setAnnotationDialogListener(AnnotationDialogListener)`, you can set a listener to be notified when an annotation item is clicked, or when document annotations are exported to a PDF doc when users click on the export floating action button.

## Read-only

If the document has write access, users can delete existing annotations by long-pressing on the annotation. To specify whether the document is read-only call `setReadOnly(boolean)`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/android/annotation/annotation-list-a.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
