<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">Toast</span></strong></h3>



<p>A <strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">toast</span></strong> provides simple feedback about an operation in a small popup. ;</p>



<p>By default it appears near the bottom of the screen, centered horizontally.</p>



<p>Toasts are not clickable and automatically disappear after a timeout.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">Simple Toast</span></strong></h3>



<p>The below code snippet is an example of Simple Toast</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><strong><em><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">//get Toast object</span></em></strong>
Toast toast = Toast.<em>makeText</em>(getApplicationContext(), <strong>"Simple Toast"</strong>, Toast.<strong><em>LENGTH_LONG</em></strong>);

toast.show(); <strong><em><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color"> //show Toast</span></em></strong></pre>



<p>The ;<strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">makeText</span></strong> ;method (makes a standard toast) takes three parameters:</p>



<p><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">Context</span></strong> ;: The context to use (Application or ;Activity ;object).</p>



<p><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">CharSequence</span></strong>: The text to show on Toast.</p>



<p><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">Duration</span></strong> ;: How long to display the message. ;It can be LENGTH_SHORT and LENGTH_LONG.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><em><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">LENGTH_SHORT</span></strong>: ;</em>Show the Toast for a short period of time.</li><li><em><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">LENGTH_LONG</span></strong>: ;</em>Show the Toast for a long period of time.</li></ul>



<p><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">show()</span></strong>: Used to display the Toast on the screen.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://c1ctech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot_1599812148-576x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2156" width="512" height="910"/><figcaption><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>Show standard Toast on click of SIMPLE TOAST button</strong></span></figcaption></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">Positioned Toast</span></strong></h3>



<p>Android Toast allows you to change the position of the Toast using the <strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">setGravity()</span></strong> ;method. </p>



<p><strong>setGravity</strong> method accepts three parameters: a ;<a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Gravity"><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">Gravity</span></strong></a> ;constant, an x-position offset, and a y-position offset.</p>



<p>For example, if you want the toast to appear at 400 distance(y-position) from the top-center, you can show the toast with gravity like this:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><em><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">//get Toast object</span></strong>
</em>Toast toast = Toast.<em>makeText</em>(getApplicationContext(), <strong>"Positioned Toast "</strong>, Toast.<strong><em>LENGTH_SHORT</em></strong>);
<em><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">//set toast gravity</span></strong>
</em><strong>toast.setGravity(Gravity.<em>CENTER </em>| Gravity.<em>TOP</em>, 0, 400);</strong>
<em><strong><span style="color:#04603e" class="has-inline-color">//show toast</span></strong>
</em>toast.show();</pre>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://c1ctech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screenshot_1599812154-576x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2157" width="493" height="877"/><figcaption><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Show Toast at specific position</span></strong> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">on click of POSITIONED TOAST button</span></strong></figcaption></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">Custom Toast</span></strong></h3>



<p>Android Toast allows you to create a customized layout for your Toast.</p>



<p>To create a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML. The following snippet contains a customized layout for Toast (saved as ;layout/custom_toast.xml):</p>



<p><strong><span style="color:#520599" class="has-inline-color">custom_toast.xml</span></strong></p>

<p>You must use the ID of the ConstraintLayout element (&#8220;<strong>custom_toast_container</strong>&#8220;) and the ID of the XML layout file “<strong>custom_toast.xml</strong>” to inflate the layout as shown here:</p>
