show an image in a toast

Question

I have used toasts in my android projects to display text. Can I use toasts to display an image popup message. If so can someone give me some useful code segment. Thank You!

You could create a custom dialog and use animation to make it appear in a faded motion just like a toast — Rahul Gupta, Dec 09 '13 at 05:37

You can see my sample code via this link: https://github.com/Hesamedin/CustomToast

The most important class is this class which drived from Toast class and modified it.

Then use it in normal way as Toast usage like this:

btnCustomToast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCustomToast);
        btnCustomToast.setTypeface(pacificoFont);
        btnCustomToast.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                MyToast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "This is custom toast message.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

As I commented in this post you can use my SuperToasts library if you do not feel like creating your own Toast View. You can easily display an image with the following code:

 SuperToast superToast = new SuperToast(getActivity());  
 superToast.setDuration(SuperToast.DURATION_LONG); 
 superToast.setText("Hello world!");  
 superToast.setIconResource(R.drawable.image, SuperToast.IconPosition.LEFT);
 superToast.show();

The library also comes with a bunch of icons already made and has a bunch of configurable options such as animations, backgrounds, text colors etc. Alternatively you can use SuperActivityToasts if you need to use a Toast within an Activity which will give you access to clickable buttons, progress bars, dismiss listeners etc.

oops ! I got some problem. When I use a SuperToast inside a fragment the app got stop. what's the reason for this and how can I fix it. – Samantha Withanage Dec 12 '13 at 08:57
You have to use an Activity Context for the SuperActivityToast. What's the stacktrace say? – John P. Dec 12 '13 at 17:32
@JohnP. I can't seem to find a `setView` method like normal Toasts support? How can I set a custom layout file as the view? – edwoollard Jan 25 '17 at 10:44

Its possible to do with toast

Code:Add this in your code part

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.like_popup, (ViewGroup) activity.findViewById(R.id.like_popup_layout));
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.like_popup_iv);
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.white_delete_icon);

Toast toast = new Toast(activity.getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 200);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();

Design:like_popup.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/cred_menu_like_popup_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@drawable/customshapetransparent"
    android:paddingTop="35dp"
    android:paddingBottom="25dp"
    android:paddingLeft="35dp"
    android:paddingRight="35dp"
    >
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/like_popup_iv"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

Design: customshapetransparent.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
  <solid android:color="#60000000" />  
    <corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>
