How can I show a toast for a specific duration?

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

Answer 1

I tried different method and this method works for me

 final Toast mytoast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), jsonObject.getString("response_message"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
 mytoast.show();

                        Handler handler = new Handler();
                        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                            @Override
                            public void run() {
                                mytoast.cancel();
                            }
                        }, 5000);// 5 sec
