Button in custom Android Toast?

Question

Is it possible to have a button in a Toast?

In theory, yes because you can build a custom Toast from a layout in XML, but I tried to put a button in it and couldn\

Answer 1

You should use a Snackbar. It is in the latest android support library(at time of answer) and is compatible with older api levels. It is much easier to implement than a Dialog or custom View and has the ability to have a button unlike a Toast.

1. Download Android Support Library from Extras in the SDK Manager(revision 22.2.1 or later).
2. In the build.gradle add this to the class dependencies: com.android.support:design:22.2.0.

3. Implement:

   Snackbar.make(this.findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Toast Message", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG) .setAction("Click here to activate action", onClickListener) .setActionTextColor(Color.RED) .show;

And that is it. No github projects and implementation is very similiar to Toast. I used it in one of my projects and it works great.
