Create a custom Android Toast
2. Example of custom Toast
On Android Studio, create a project:
- File > New > New Project > Empty Activity
- Name: CustomToastExample
- Package name: org.o7planning.customtoastexample
- Language: Java
Then copy an icon (icon_info.png) into the folder drawable of the project.
In this example, I'm going to use "Resource Layout File" to design the Toast interface. You can also create the Toast interface only by Java code (See more in the example).
First, right click on the folder "layout" and select:
- New > Layout Resource File
- File name: layout_custom_toast.xml
- Root element: LinearLayout
- Source set: main
- Directory name: layout
Now you can design your Toast interface.
Next, set ID, Text, Padding and layout_weight for the components in the interface:
layout_custom_toast.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10sp">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:paddingRight="10sp"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/icon_info" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Message" />
</LinearLayout>
And here is the main interface of the application:
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_show"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
android:text="Show Custom Toast"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
MainActivity.java
package org.o7planning.customtoastexample;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button buttonShow;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
this.buttonShow = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.button_show);
this.buttonShow.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
buttonShowClicked();
}
});
}
// Create Toast with "Resource Layout File".
private void buttonShowClicked() {
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_custom_toast, null);
// TextView in layout_custom_toast.
TextView textView = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText("This is a message");
textView.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
// Create Toast
Toast toast = new Toast(this);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();
}
// Create Toast without "Resource Layout File".
private void buttonShowClicked2() {
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
layout.setPadding(10,10, 10, 10);
//
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon_info);
imageView.setPadding(0, 0, 10, 0);
//
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
textView.setText("This is a message");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params1 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,0);
layout.addView(imageView, params1);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params2 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1);
layout.addView(textView, params2);
// Create Toast
Toast toast = new Toast(this);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();
}
