Activity class

Now write the code to display the custom toast.

File: MainActivity.java

1. package com.example.customtoast2;  
2. import android.os.Bundle;  
3. import android.app.Activity;  
4. import android.view.Gravity;  
5. import android.view.LayoutInflater;  
6. import android.view.Menu;  
7. import android.view.View;  
8. import android.view.ViewGroup;  
9. import android.widget.Toast;  
10.   
11. public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
12.      @Override  
13.         public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
14.             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
15.             setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
16.               
17.         //Creating the LayoutInflater instance  
18.             LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();  
19.         //Getting the View object as defined in the customtoast.xml file  
20.             View layout = li.inflate(R.layout.customtoast,  
21.               (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_layout));  
22.            
23.         //Creating the Toast object   
24.             Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());  
25.             toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);  
26.             toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);  
27.             toast.setView(layout);//setting the view of custom toast layout  
28.             toast.show();  
29.         }  
30.         @Override  
31.         public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
32.             getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
33.             return true;
