In this tutorial we will learn how to use Toast in android. We will create a button when this button is clicked the toast will be displayed. Follow the following steps to display the toast..
Step 1: Create a new project OR Open your project
Step 2: Code to display toast:
For Short Time(2 seconds):
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "MESSAGE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
For Long Time(3.5seconds):
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "This is Toast...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
For Custom Time(e.g 6 seconds):
for (int i=0; i < 3; i++) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "MESSAGE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Step 3: To display Toast on Button click:
Step 3.1: activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<Button
android:id="@+id/showtoastbtn"
android:text="Show Toast"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Step 3.2: MainActivity.java
package com.jigopost.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button showToastBtn = findViewById(R.id.showtoastbtn);
showToastBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "This is Toast...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
}
