Creating a fullscreen custom Toast

Question

I have recentrly tried a custom Toast following the tutorial:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html#CustomToastView

With such a Layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:id="@+id/toast_layout_root"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:padding="8dp"
              android:background="#DAAA"
              >
    <ImageView android:src="@drawable/droid"
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
               />
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:textColor="#FFF"
              />
</LinearLayout>

But it seems that the fill_parent in the root layout has no effect.

Do you have an idea on how I can fix this in order to get fullscreen Toast?

Answer 1

Add this before you show the Toast:

toast.setGravity(Gravity.FILL, 0, 0);
