Customizing Toast At Runtime

We can also create customized toast without creating xml layout,  we can add/select the views at run time runtime and can show in the Toast. This gives us more flexibility to select the Toast Components at runtime.

                

                 // create a LinearLayout and Views

                LinearLayout  layout=new LinearLayout(this);
                layout.setBackgroundResource(R.color.LightOrange);
              
                TextView  tv=new TextView(this);
                // set the TextView properties like color, size etc
                tv.setTextColor(Color.RED);
                tv.setTextSize(15);        

                tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

                // set the text you want to show in  Toast
                tv.setText("My Custom Toast at Bottom of Screen");  

               ImageView   img=new ImageView(this);

                // give the drawble resource for the ImageView
                img.setImageResource(R.drawable.myimage);

              // add both the Views TextView and ImageView in layout
                layout.addView(img);
                layout.addView(tv);

                Toast toast=new Toast(this); //context is object of Context write "this" if you are an Activity
               // Set The layout as Toast View
                toast.setView(layout);
                     
                  // Position you toast here toast position is 50 dp from bottom you can give any integral value   
                 toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 50);
                 toast.show();

 We can also set/customize  the time interval of the Toast to show. It has been discussed in next post.
