How to add a custom styled Toast in Android
This article explains how to create Custom Toast messages, which has custom background, image, icon, etc, which are not provided by the original Toast library.
Add the support Library in your root build.gradle file
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
Add the support Library in your module’s build.gradl
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.GrenderG:Toasty:1.4.2'
}
Now add the following code in the activity_main.xml file. This code adds five buttons in the activity. Each button is used to call differnt style of toasts.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="@+id/button_warning"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="showToast"
android:text="show warning toast" />
<Button
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="@+id/button_info"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="showToast"
android:text="show info toast" />
<Button
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="@+id/button_success"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="showToast"
android:text="show success toast" />
<Button
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="@+id/button_error"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="showToast"
android:text="show error toast" />
<Button
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="@+id/button_normal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="showToast"
android:text="show normal toast with an icon" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Now add the following code in the MainActivity.java file. Now on clicking any button the showToast() function is started and corresponding Toast is displayed
public class MainActivity
extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
// We assign this method
// on OnClick() method
// in activity_main.xml file.
public void showToast(View v)
{
switch (v.getId()) {
// For Error type Toast
case R.id.button_error:
Toasty.error(this,
"This is an error Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
break;
// For Success type Toast
case R.id.button_success:
Toasty.success(this,
"This is a success Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
break;
// For Info type Toast
case R.id.button_info:
Toasty.info(this,
"This is an info Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
break;
// For Warning type Toast
case R.id.button_warning:
Toasty.warning(this,
"This is a warning Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
break;
// For Norma type Toast
// with an icon
case R.id.button_normal:
Toasty.normal(
this,
"This is a normal Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT,
ContextCompat
.getDrawable(
this,
R.drawable.ic_android_black_24dp))
.show();
break;
}
}
}
