How do you display a Toast using Kotlin on Android?

Question

Answer 1

It's actually a part of Anko, an extension for Kotlin. Syntax is as follows:

toast("Hi there!")
toast(R.string.message)

In your app-level build.gradle, add implementation "org.jetbrains.anko:anko-common:0.8.3"

Add import org.jetbrains.anko.toast to your Activity.
