Simple. Simply call the method .cancel() on the toast once you want to create another toast.

Start by defining a Toast variable at the top of your class like this

private Toast mToast;

Later, When you want to create a new Toast(and have the old one disappear), do this.

if(mToast != null) {
  mToast.cancel();  //if a toast exists it deletes it, allowing you to create a new one
}


mToast = Toast.makeText(this, "This will show up now!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
mToast.show(); //creates the new toast.
