Toast message keep being displayed on bottom of the screen

Question

I am trying to display a toast message on top of the screen but it keep showing on the bottom.

This the code I am using

val toast = Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP or Gravity.LEFT, 0, 0)
toast.show()

I tried as well to change bkg and color but it seems difficult now even getView become deprecated

any idea who to force the toast on top of the screen ?

Thanks

Your approach is correct. Does anything happen if you let's say change (Gravity.TOP or Gravity.LEFT, 0, 0) to (Gravity.TOP, 0, 250) — Asparuh Gavrailov, Jun 29 '21 at 18:02

You can't set gravity since SDK 30, the default position is on the bottom and there is nothing we can do but using external libraries or build your own — javdromero, Jun 29 '21 at 18:11

Try with the following code its working just set gravity from TOP.

Toast.makeText(this, "hello world", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).apply {
 //If you want some margin from top to toast you can set yOffSet value
        setGravity(Gravity.TOP, 0, 50)
        show()
    }

toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP, 0, 0);
toast.show();

I moved to Snackbar instead of Toast message. It allow more easy customization
