Is there anyway I can tell a Toast Notification to show up only for a specified amount of time. Generally shorter then a regular toast message.
makeText(context, "Hello world, I am a toast.", Toast. LENGTH_SHORT). show(); The duration for which a toast is displayed on screen is unfortunately defined by a flag: you can either show it for a SHORT duration, which is 2 seconds or a LONG duration which is 3,5 seconds.
Positioning your Toast A standard toast notification appears near the bottom of the screen, centered horizontally. You can change this position with the setGravity(int, int, int) method. This accepts three parameters: a Gravity constant, an x-position offset, and a y-position offset.
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.
Display the created Toast Message using the show() method of the Toast class. The code to show the Toast message: Toast. makeText(getApplicationContext(), "This a toast message", Toast.
I found a solution to this by calling toast.cancel() after a certain delay that is shorter than the standard toast duration.
final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(ctx, "This message will disappear in 1 second", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); toast.show(); Handler handler = new Handler(); handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { toast.cancel(); } }, 1000);
