Android toast different activity/fragment

Question

I am using toast on android, However I dont want the toast to disappear. but rather stay... And I dont want the toast to show up on different activity or fragment. If I called toast in certain fragment, i dont want it to be seen in a different fragment or activity. Lets say activity 1, i call toast..i go to activity 2... i dont want toast to be displayed yet. when i return to activity 1 i see the toast still in place. I also want this for fragments.

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(dialog.getContext(),R.string.serverError, Toast.LENGTH_LONG); toast.show();

Answer 1

One possibility is to make the Toast global in your Fragment/Activity. Now you can call Toast.cancel() in a callback like onPause(), which is called if you switch an Activity or Fragment.

The docs say about cancel:

Close the view if it's showing, or don't show it if it isn't showing yet. ...

A nicer way is to make a custom class for the Toast like jitain sharma suggested in the comments.

If you want that Toast should not remain on the screen when you move out of Activity then I would suggest you to use third party library Crouton

Try this way

in Fragment:

final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.show();

            Handler handler = new Handler();
                handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                   @Override
                   public void run() {
                       toast.cancel(); 
                   }
            }, 500);

in Activity:

 final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(activity.this, "Test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.show();

            Handler handler = new Handler();
                handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                   @Override
                   public void run() {
                       toast.cancel(); 
                   }
            }, 500);
