Custom Toast in Android


What is Toast?

A toast is a view containing a quick little message for the user. When the view is shown to the user, appears as a floating view over the application. It will never receive focus. 
Normal syntax of Toast is
Toast.makeText(context, text, duration).show();
context the context to use. Usually your android.app.Application or android.app.Activity object.
text The text to show. Can be formatted text.
duration How long to display the message. Either LENGTH_SHORT or LENGHT_LONG.
Here is the example: Toast.makeText(this, "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Now let's start with custom toast.
Create an Android Project:

CustomToastActivity.java

public class CustomToastActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnClickListener {

Button customToast;
Button showToast;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom_toast);
showToast=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
showToast.setOnClickListener(this);
customToast=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
customToast.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.custom_toast, menu);
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.button1:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;

case R.id.button2:
LayoutInflater inflater=getLayoutInflater();
View layout=inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.RelativeLayout1));
Toast toast=new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();
break;
}
}
}
