Custom toast on Android: a simple example

Question

Use the below code of a custom Toast. It may help you.

toast.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toast_layout_root"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:background="#DAAA" >

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />

    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:textColor="#FFF" />

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.toast_layout,
                               (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root));

ImageView image = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.image);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.android);
TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello! This is a custom toast!");

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();

A toast is for showing messages for short intervals of time; So, as per my understanding, you would like to customize it with adding an image to it and changing size, color of the message text. If that is all, you want to do, then there is no need to make a separate layout and inflate it to the Toast instance.

The default Toast's view contains a TextView for showing messages on it. So, if we have the resource id reference of that TextView, we can play with it. So below is what can you do to achieve this:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "I am custom Toast!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
View toastView = toast.getView(); // This'll return the default View of the Toast.

/* And now you can get the TextView of the default View of the Toast. */
TextView toastMessage = (TextView) toastView.findViewById(android.R.id.message);
toastMessage.setTextSize(25);
toastMessage.setTextColor(Color.RED);
toastMessage.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.mipmap.ic_fly, 0, 0, 0);
toastMessage.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
toastMessage.setCompoundDrawablePadding(16);
toastView.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
toast.show();

In above code you can see, you can add image to TextView via setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(int left, int top, int right, int bottom) whichever position relative to TextView you want to.

Update:

Have written a builder class to simplify the above purpose; Here is the link: https://gist.github.com/TheLittleNaruto/6fc8f6a2b0d0583a240bd78313ba83bc

Check the HowToUse.kt in above link.

Output:

STEP 1:

First create a layout for a custom toast in res/layout/custom_toast.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/custom_toast_layout_id"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#FFF"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="5dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:textColor="#000" />

</LinearLayout>

STEP 2: In the Activity code, get the above custom view and attach to Toast:

// Get your custom_toast.xml ayout
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();

View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast,
(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_layout_id));

// set a message
TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Button is clicked!");

// Toast...
Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();

Creating a Custom Toast View

If a simple text message isn't enough, you can create a customized layout for your toast notification. To create a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML or in your application code, and pass the root View object to the setView (View) method.

For example, you can create the layout for the toast visible in the screenshot to the right with the following XML (saved as toast_layout.xml):

<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="10dp"
            android:background="#DAAA"
>

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="fill_parent"
               android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    />

    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:textColor="#FFF"
    />
</LinearLayout>

Notice that the ID of the LinearLayout element is "toast_layout". You must use this ID to inflate the layout from the XML, as shown here:

 LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
 View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.toast_layout,
                                (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root));

 ImageView image = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.image);
 image.setImageResource(R.drawable.android);
 TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
 text.setText("Hello! This is a custom toast!");

 Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
 toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
 toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
 toast.setView(layout);
 toast.show();

First, retrieve the LayoutInflater with getLayoutInflater() (or getSystemService()), and then inflate the layout from XML using inflate(int, ViewGroup). The first parameter is the layout resource ID and the second is the root View. You can use this inflated layout to find more View objects in the layout, so now capture and define the content for the ImageView and TextView elements. Finally, create a new Toast with Toast(Context) and set some properties of the toast, such as the gravity and duration. Then call setView(View) and pass it the inflated layout. You can now display the toast with your custom layout by calling show().

Note: Do not use the public constructor for a Toast unless you are going to define the layout with setView(View). If you do not have a custom layout to use, you must use makeText(Context, int, int) to create the Toast.
