How can I show a toast for a specific duration?

Question

This is the way I have to show the Toast for 500 milliseconds. Though, it\'s showing more than a second.

Toast.makeText(LiveChat.this, \"Typing\         


        

Answer 1

This can't be done. The values of Toast.LENGTH_SHORT and Toast.LENGTH_LONG are 0 and 1. This means they are treated as flags rather than actual durations so I don't think it will be possible to set the duration to anything other than these values.
