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.

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


        

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

I have created a class ToastMessage in droid side.

   public class ToastMessage: IToast
        {
            public void LongAlert(string message)
            {
                Toast toast = Toast.MakeText(Android.App.Application.Context, message, ToastLength.Short);
                toast.Show();
                Device.StartTimer(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5), () =>
                {               
                   toast.Cancel();
                    return false;
                });
            }
        }

I have created interface IToast

 public  interface IToast
    {
        void LongAlert(string message);
    }

Calling By Dependency Service

 DependencyService.Get<IToast>().LongAlert("Right Answer");

Can't do what you are asking with the standard Toasts. Perhaps you should think about integrating a 3rd party library that gives you better Toast options (named Crouton). I haven't used it myself, but people seem to like it.

You can't control the length of Toasts in the standard OS.

Answer 4

Toast.makeText(LiveChar.this,"Typing",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);

This is the only way you can..

Answer 5

This cannot be done. To show a toast for a length shorter than Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, you must cancel it after the time you want. Something like:

final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "This message will disappear in half a second", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    toast.show();

    Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
           @Override
           public void run() {
               toast.cancel(); 
           }
    }, 500);

Answer 6

I don't believe this can be done, you can only use Toast.LENGTH_LONG or Toast.LENTH_SHORT you can't define your know speed.
