Answer 1

Instead of creating a new Toast object each time you want a new text displayed you can easily hold on to only one Toast object and cancel the current Toast whenever you want. Before the next Toast is being displayed you can change text with Toast.setText() function.

Sample code:

private Toast mToastText;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // Create the object once.
    mToastText = Toast.makeText(this, "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}

private void displayText(final String message) {
    mToastText.cancel();
    mToastText.setText(message); 
    mToastText.show();
}
