How to Create Custom Toast in Android

Make your Toast more attractive

You can implement custom toast in two ways:

Method 1 : create your own toast layout without external resources

Method 2 : You can use external libraries to make custom toast

Steps:

Step 1: create drawable file for background

Step 2: create custom layout

Step 3: inflate the layout into view and set into toast object

There are many external libraries to implement custom toast
but in this post we will use Toasty library. In this library there are 5 types of custom toast:
success , error , info , warning and normal

Steps:

Step 1: Add this in your root build.gradle file (not your module build.gradle file):

allprojects {
repositories {

maven { url “https://jitpack.io" }
}
}

Step 2: Add this to your module’s build.gradle file (make sure the version matches the JitPack badge above):

dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.github.GrenderG:Toasty:1.5.0'
}

Step 3: Go to java file and show the toast as below

Toasty.success(getApplicationContext(),"This is success toast",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();// or Toasty.error(getApplicationContext(),"This is error toast",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Result:
