android - Toasts

A toast provides simple feedback about an operation in a small popup.

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast,
                               (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root));

TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("This is a custom toast");

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();

Note:  Do not use the public constructor for a Toast unless you are going to define the layout with setView(View) . If you do not have a custom layout to use, you must use  makeText(Context, int, int) to create the Toast.
