Toast
open class Toast
| kotlin.Any | |
| ↳ | android.widget.Toast |
A toast is a view containing a quick little message for the user. The toast class helps you create and show those. {@more}
When the view is shown to the user, appears as a floating view over the application. It will never receive focus. The user will probably be in the middle of typing something else. The idea is to be as unobtrusive as possible, while still showing the user the information you want them to see. Two examples are the volume control, and the brief message saying that your settings have been saved.
The easiest way to use this class is to call one of the static methods that constructs everything you need and returns a new Toast object.
Note that Snackbars are preferred for brief messages while the app is in the foreground.
Note that toasts being sent from the background are rate limited, so avoid sending such toasts in quick succession.
Starting with Android 12 (API level 31), apps targeting Android 12 or newer will have their toasts limited to two lines.

Public constructors
Toast
Toast(context: Context!)
Construct an empty Toast object. You must call setView before you can call show.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
context |
Context!: The context to use. Usually your android.app.Activity object. |
Public methods
addCallback
open fun addCallback(callback: Toast.Callback): Unit
Adds a callback to be notified when the toast is shown or hidden. Note that if the toast is blocked for some reason you won't get a call back.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
callback |
Toast.Callback: This value cannot be null. |
See Also
cancel
open fun cancel(): Unit
Close the view if it's showing, or don't show it if it isn't showing yet. You do not normally have to call this. Normally view will disappear on its own after the appropriate duration.
getDuration
open fun getDuration(): Int
Return the duration.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
Value is android.widget.Toast#LENGTH_SHORT, or android.widget.Toast#LENGTH_LONG |
See Also
getGravity
open fun getGravity(): Int
Get the location at which the notification should appear on the screen.
Warning: Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, for apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, this method shouldn't be called on text toasts as its return value may not reflect actual value since text toasts are not rendered by the app anymore.

getHorizontalMargin
open fun getHorizontalMargin(): Float
Return the horizontal margin.
Warning: Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, for apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, this method shouldn't be called on text toasts as its return value may not reflect actual value since text toasts are not rendered by the app anymore.
getVerticalMargin
open fun getVerticalMargin(): Float
Return the vertical margin.
Warning: Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, for apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, this method shouldn't be called on text toasts as its return value may not reflect actual value since text toasts are not rendered by the app anymore.
getView
open fungetView(): View?
Deprecated: Custom toast views are deprecated. Apps can create a standard text toast with the makeText(android.content.Context,java.lang.CharSequence,int) method, or use a Snackbar when in the foreground. Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher that are in the background will not have custom toast views displayed.
Return the view.
Toasts constructed with Toast(android.content.Context) that haven't called setView(android.view.View) with a non-null view will return null here.
Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, in apps targeting API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, toasts constructed with makeText(android.content.Context,java.lang.CharSequence,int) or its variants will also return null here unless they had called setView(android.view.View) with a non-null view. If you want to be notified when the toast is shown or hidden, use addCallback(android.widget.Toast.Callback).

getXOffset
open fun getXOffset(): Int

Warning: Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, for apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, this method shouldn't be called on text toasts as its return value may not reflect actual value since text toasts are not rendered by the app anymore.
