Custom Toast Notification

Custom Toast :

If a simple text message isn't enough, you can create a customized layout for your toast notification. To create a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML or in your application code.

We created a custom_toast.xml layout file in layout folder for custom toast. Also set the id of the layout.

LayoutInflater : Instantiates a layout XML file into its corresponding View objects. It is never used directly. Instead, use getLayoutInflater() or getSystemService(String) to retrieve a standard LayoutInflater instance that is already hooked up to the current context.

LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();

inflate(): Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified xml resource.

inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root)

To create custom toast Notification write following piece of code :

MainActivity.java :

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

       Button btn1;

       ImageView iv;

       TextView tv;

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

              setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

              btn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

             

             

             

              btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                    

                     @Override

                     public void onClick(View arg0) {

                           LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();

                           View layout = li.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.custom_toast));

                           iv = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

                           iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.a2);

                           tv = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.textView1);

                           tv.setText("Hello i am Android logo");

                           AnalogClock ac = (AnalogClock) layout.findViewById(R.id.analogClock1);

                           Toast toast = new Toast(MainActivity.this);

                           toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

                           toast.setView(layout);

                           toast.show();

                          

                     }

              });

             

             

                    

             

       }

       @Override

       public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

              // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

              getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

              return true;

       }

}
