Toast doesn't support this. Check the following answer for the details: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6095362/648313. You may however try the following hack: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9715422/648313 — Volo, Apr 20 '12 at 12:58
I have developed a custom Toast class with which you can show Toast for a specified amount of time... have a look at my answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2220560/can-an-android-toast-be-longer-than-toast-length-long/21203554#21203554 — Gopal Gopi, Jan 18 '14 at 12:45

The values of LENGTH_SHORT and LENGTH_LONG are 0 and 1. This means they are treated as flags rather than actual durations so I don't think it will be possible to set the duration to anything other than these values.

If you want to display a message to the user for longer, consider a Status Bar Notification. Status Bar Notifications can be programmatically cancelled when they are no longer relevant.

But this is not end you can do like this

for (int i=0; i < 2; i++)
{
    Toast.makeText(this, "blah", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

to double the time. If you specify 3 instead the 2 it will triple the time..etc.

Replace Toast.LENGTH_LONG or Toast.LENGTH_SHORT with 500

It doesn't work like this. You would need to do what Drawable mentioned above. – Aaron Apr 25 '13 at 13:08
