Left Aligning Text in Toast Android

Question

I have a toast which shows text as centered align and i want to make it left align how can it be done. The code for generation of toast is as follows.

Toast test;
String final_status = titles[status_index];
String final_equipment = EquipmentNamePartial[equipment_index];
test = Toast.makeText(SalesBar.this, "Status: " + final_status + '\n'
         + " Equipment: " + final_equipment + '\n'
         + " Duration: " + duration_value + " hours", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
test.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.LEFT, xx, yy);
test.show();

no toast is generating fine and on the exact location where i touch on the screen. The problem is that text inside it center aligned and i want it to be left aligned. — Fahad Abid Janjua, Oct 04 '12 at 12:52

Create Custom Toast Message.

TextView textview = new TextView(context);
textview.setText(text);
textview.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
textview.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
textview.setPadding(10,10,10,10);
Toast toast = new Toast(context);
toast.setView(textview);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT, 0, 0);
toast.show();

You should create a View and use Toast.setView. The simplest case is to create a TextView and set it's gravity

You can create Toast with custom layout:

Toast toast = new Toast(context);
toast.setView(toastRoot);
toast.show();
