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

Adapted from another answer:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Centered\nmessage", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
TextView v = (TextView) toast.getView().findViewById(android.R.id.message);
if( v != null) v.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
toast.show();

Answer 2

In kotlin:

fun makeToast(context: Context, resId: Int) {
    val toast = Toast.makeText(context, resId, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
    val view = toast.view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message)
    view?.let {
        view.gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    }
    toast.show()
}

Answer 3

Not saing that findViewById(android.R.id.message) is wrong, but just in case there are (future?) implementation differences I myself used a bit differen approach:

void centerText(View view) {
    if( view instanceof TextView){
        ((TextView) view).setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    }else if( view instanceof ViewGroup){
        ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) view;
        int n = group.getChildCount();
        for( int i = 0; i<n; i++ ){
            centerText(group.getChildAt(i));
        }
    }
}

and then:

Toast t = Toast.makeText(context, msg,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
centerText(t.getView());
t.show();

Answer 4

This variation is with using LinearLayout. :)

Toast SampleToast = Toast.makeText(this, "This is the example of centered text.\nIt is multiline text.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
LinearLayout OurLayout = (LinearLayout) SampleToast.getView();

if (OurLayout.getChildCount() > 0) 
{
TextView SampleView = (TextView) OurLayout.getChildAt(0);
SampleView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
}

SampleToast.show();

Answer 5

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
toast.show();
