Android Set the text align to the middle of the toast [duplicate]

Question

I have a toast message which is pretty long. I would like to set the text in the middle and not to start align to the left.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Toast is built on a TextView and the default gravity of it is left aligned. So, you need to create your own TextView like this for instance :

<TextView       
android:layout_width="fill_parent"      
android:layout_height="fill_parent"      
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"     
android:text="all the text you want" /> 

And you assign the TextView to the Toast like this :

Toast t = new Toast(yourContext); 
t.setView(yourNewTextView);
