Can an Android Toast be longer than “Toast.LENGTH_LONG”?

Is there a way to make Toast messages last longer than Toast.LENGTH_LONG. I don't feel this length of time is quite long enough for the user to read the notification I'm displaying.

Answer 1

For this kind of messages there is the Dialog class. Actually to be more precise the AlertDialog class. A help text should be visible to the user as long as the user needs that help message.

You should also take a look at the Creating Dialogs article on the developers site.
