Stop a Toast and start another in android [duplicate]

Question

I am using Toast in my app. When I am pressing a button, it is showing a Toast. My problem is that the second time I'm pressing on the button the second toast is "waiting" for the first one to end and only than it shows.. I want the current one to show immediately and not wait. This is my simple code:

toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Press Back to retorn to the main page", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();

how can I do that?

Answer 1

You can always cancel a Toast object.

final Toast tst = Toast.makeText(ctx, "This is a toast.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
tst.show();

Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
           tst.cancel(); 
           tst.setText("Same toast with another message.");
           tst.show();
       }
}, 1000);

So instead of creating another Toast object you can use the first one, cancel it, set the new text and show it again.

In https://stackoverflow.com/a/4485531/517561, the writer didn't cancel the toast, they simply changed its text.

Cancel your original Toast, set a new message and show again the Toast message.

Toast mytoast;
mytoast = Toast.makeText(this, "Hi Ho Jorgesys! ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
mytoast.show();
....
....
....
if(CancelToast){
  mytoast.cancel();  //cancelling old Toast!
  mytoast = Toast.makeText(this, "Same toast with another message.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG); //Setting a new message.
  mytoast.show(); //Show the new message!.
}
