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\

This one is working fine for me.

final Toast mToastToShow;
            int toastDurationInMilliSeconds = 10000;
            mToastToShow =  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Snapshot Saved Successfully.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);


            // Set the countdown to display the toast
            CountDownTimer toastCountDown;
            toastCountDown = new CountDownTimer(toastDurationInMilliSeconds, 1000 /*Tick duration*/) {
                public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                    mToastToShow.show();
                }
                public void onFinish() {
                    mToastToShow.cancel();
                }
            };

            // Show the toast and starts the countdown
            mToastToShow.show();
            toastCountDown.start();

the countdown is used to display a toast message for a specific duration.
