Android Custom Toast Example

You are able to create custom toast in android. So, you can display some images like congratulations or loss on the toast. It means you are able to customize the toast now.

activity_main.xml

Drag the component that you want to display on the main activity.

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>

customtoast.xml

Create another xml file inside the layout directory. Here we are having ImageView and TextView in this xml file.

File: customtoast.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/custom_toast_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#F14E23"
     >
     
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/custom_toast_image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/hello_world"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
	
<TextView
        android:id="@+id/custom_toast_message"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/Toast"
        android:text="@string/Toast" />
</LinearLayout>

Activity class

Now write the code to display the custom toast.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.customtoast2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
	 @Override
	    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
	        
		//Creating the LayoutInflater instance
	        LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();
		//Getting the View object as defined in the customtoast.xml file
	        View layout = li.inflate(R.layout.customtoast,
	          (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_layout));
	     
		//Creating the Toast object 
	        Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
	        toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
	        toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
	        toast.setView(layout);//setting the view of custom toast layout
	        toast.show();
	    }
	    @Override
	    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
	        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
	        return true;
	    }

}
