android toast doesn't fit text

Question

I am developing an application where I have to use numerous toasts.

I display these toasts by using:

Toast.makeText(context, \"Some medium-sized text\",          


        

Answer 1

Using the main idea of this Custom toast in android : a simple example and this Android's Toast default colors and alpha I developed a simple custom Toast that looks like the default one but it wraps the text in multilines.

I create a simple class with the makeText(context,text,duration) static method, so I had only to replace Toast.makeText with CustomToast.makeText everywhere in my projects.

Below the code

CustomToast.java

public class CustomToast extends Toast{
    /**
     * Construct an empty Toast object.  You must call {@link #setView} before you
     * can call {@link #show}.
     *
     * @param context The context to use.  Usually your {@link Application}
     *                or {@link Activity} object.
     */
    public CustomToast(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public static Toast makeText(Context context, CharSequence text, int duration) {
        Toast t = Toast.makeText(context,text,duration);
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
        View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast,null);

        TextView textView = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
        textView.setText(text);

        t.setView(layout);


        return t;
    }

}

The layout layout/custom_toast.xml
