Help on Toast and Toast.makeText

[ganesh4it]

Hi All,

Am very new to andriod tech.
Somehow I come to know about Toast.makeText.
It displays the message at the bottom of my application.

I want to align this toast dialog anywhere in the screen. Is it possible?

How to achieve this?

I tried the following as well but am not success.

Toast tost = new Toast(this);
tost.setGravity(Gravity.TOP, 20, 30);
tost.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
tost.setText("Sucess . . ");
tost.show();
===========================

plz help me out.

Hi,

You can't change the position of Toast, it's position is hardcoded. If you want to show a notification from your foreground Activity, you can use some arbitrary View, Toast is mostly useful for notifying from background.

Thanku appforce.

In your reply you mentioned as by using some arbitrary View we can change the position.

Tnx in advance.

Hi,

Sorry about my mistake, it's possible to show Toast on different positions, here's an example of absolute positioning:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Hello!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT, 20, 20);
toast.show();
