Center text in a Toast

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to display all text in a Toast to be centered. For instance, I have a Toast that has 2 lines of text in it. For purely aesthetic reasons, I would like the text to center-aligned instead of left-aligned. I've looked through the documentation and can't find anything about it. Is there a simple way to do this that I have missed?

Answer 1

Adapted from another answer:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Centered\nmessage", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); TextView v = (TextView) toast.getView().findViewById(android.R.id.message); if( v != null) v.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); toast.show(); 

Answer 2

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);
