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

Accepted answer is correct but in my case the toast blink(show & hide) can be noticed..

I got a solution where Toast is not blinking and you can customise the Toast as well.

Lets begin,

1) Create a class Named LongToast.

class LongToast {

private LongToast() {}

static void makeLongToast(Context context,String text, long durationInMillis) 
{

 final Toast toastMessage = new Toast(context);

 //Creating TextView.
 TextView textView = new TextView(context);

 //Setting up Text Color.
 textView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#fafafa"));

 //Setting up Text Size.
 textView.setTextSize(17);

 //Setting up Toast Message Text.
 textView.setText(text);

 //Add padding to Toast message.
 textView.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 23);

 //Add Gravity TextView.
 textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

 //Adding TextView into Toast.
 toastMessage.setView(textView);

 //Access toast message as View.
 View toastView = toastMessage.getView();

 //Set Custom Background on Toast.
 toastView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.test);


 new CountDownTimer(durationInMillis, 1000)
  {
   public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
   {
    toastMessage.show();
   }
  public void onFinish()
   {
    toastMessage.cancel();
   }

  }.start();
 }
}

2) Create a drawable xml for customising the Toast.

you can customise the toast as per your need.

3) Finally Calling Toast.

LongToast.makeLongToast(this,"whatever you want",10000);//duration in seconds
