Center text in a toast in Android

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to display all text in a toast to be centered. For instance, I have a toast that has 2 lines of text in it. For purely aesthetic reasons,

Answer 1

It is dirty hack, but

((TextView)((LinearLayout)toast.getView()).getChildAt(0))
    .setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

Answer 2

Toast is built on a TextView and the default gravity of it is left aligned. So, you need to create your own TextView like this for instance :

<TextView  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:text="all the text you want"
/>

And you assign the TextView to the Toast like this :

Toast t = new Toast(yourContext);
t.setView(yourNewTextView);

Answer 3

Without the hacks:

String text = "Some text";
Spannable centeredText = new SpannableString(text);
centeredText.setSpan(new AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_CENTER),
            0, text.length() - 1,
            Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);

Toast.makeText(getActivity(), centeredText, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

There are also another alignments besides center.

Answer 4

Use the Toast's setView(view) function to supply a View with Gravity.CENTER.

Answer 5

It is work for me:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER| Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 20);
toast.show();

Answer 6

Toast t=Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Text",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
t.setText("Password Does't match...");
t.setGravity(0, 0, 0);
t.show();

simple code for toast most be center
