Problem: How to create a custom Toast notification?
Solution:
First, if you don’t know about Toast notification in android, then I would suggest you to go through the previous article on: Text notifications (Toast). In this article, we will look into how to define a custom Toast notification, to show a notification with image and text.
Example:
Create one XML layout file and give a name cust_toast_layout.xml and define the below layout.
cust_toast_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
android:background="@android:color/white">
<TextView
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:text="Paresh N. Mayani"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="@android:color/black">
</TextView>
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/new_logo"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:id="@+id/imageView1">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:text="This is the demo of Custom Toast Notification"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"
android:textColor="@android:color/black">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
Now, inflate the above layout to create/show custom Toast notification.
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.cust_toast_layout,
(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout1));
Toast toast = new Toast(this);
toast.setView(view);
toast.show();
