What is the duration of a Toast LENGTH_LONG and LENGTH_SHORT

Question

I need the exact duration of LENGTH_LONG and LENGTH_SHORT in milliseconds (ms). Also I need to know if the duration of Toast message with LENGTH_LONG will have the same duration in any phone and with any API version.

Does someone know where is the duration defined ?, I mean defined in ms . I know that LENGTH_LONG is some int const with value 1. But I could not find where is the actual duration defined.

Answer 1

Answered here. Like you mentioned Toast.LENGTH_SHORT and Toast.LENGTH_LONG are not in ms but 0 or 1.

The actual durations are:

private static final int LONG_DELAY = 3500; // 3.5 seconds private static final int SHORT_DELAY = 2000; // 2 seconds 

Answer 2

The Toast.LENGTH_SHORT and Toast.LENGTH_LONG are just flags.
You can find here the official android source where these flags are defined:

public class NotificationManagerService extends SystemService {      static final int LONG_DELAY = PhoneWindowManager.TOAST_WINDOW_TIMEOUT;     /** Amount of time (in milliseconds) a toast window can be shown. */     //public static final int TOAST_WINDOW_TIMEOUT = 3500; // 3.5 seconds     static final int SHORT_DELAY = 2000; // 2 seconds      private void scheduleDurationReachedLocked(ToastRecord r)     {        mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(r);        Message m = Message.obtain(mHandler, MESSAGE_DURATION_REACHED, r);        int delay = r.duration == Toast.LENGTH_LONG ? LONG_DELAY : SHORT_DELAY;        //....        mHandler.sendMessageDelayed(m, delay);      } }
