Adding image to Toast?

Question

Is it possible to programmatically add an image to a toast popup?

Answer 1

You can create any view programmatically (since I am assuming you are asking on how to do this WITHOUT using a LayoutInflater) and call setView on the Toast you made.

    //Create a view here
    LinearLayout v = new LinearLayout(this);
    //populate layout with your image and text or whatever you want to put in here

    Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
    toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
    toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    toast.setView(v);
    toast.show();

Answer 2

I think this is better that we show text of Toast on the image which we pass to the makeImageToast function... so I shades Knickedi codes and :

public class utility  {

public static Toast makeImageToast(Context context, int imageResId, CharSequence text, int length) {
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, length);

    View rootView = toast.getView();
    LinearLayout linearLayout = null;
    View messageTextView = null;

    // check (expected) toast layout
    if (rootView instanceof LinearLayout) {
        linearLayout = (LinearLayout) rootView;

        if (linearLayout.getChildCount() == 1) {
            View child = linearLayout.getChildAt(0);

            if (child instanceof TextView) {
                messageTextView = (TextView) child;
                ((TextView) child).setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

            }
        }
    }

    // cancel modification because toast layout is not what we expected
    if (linearLayout == null || messageTextView == null) {
        return toast;
    }

    ViewGroup.LayoutParams textParams = messageTextView.getLayoutParams();
    ((LinearLayout.LayoutParams) textParams).gravity = Gravity.CENTER;

    // convert dip dimension
    float density = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
    int imageSize = (int) (density * 25 + 0.5f);
    int imageMargin = (int) (density * 15 + 0.5f);

    // setup image view layout parameters
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams imageParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(imageSize, imageSize);
    imageParams.setMargins(0, 0, imageMargin, 0);
    imageParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;

    // setup image view
    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(context);
    imageView.setImageResource(imageResId);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(imageParams);


    // modify root layout
    linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
    linearLayout.setBackgroundResource(imageResId);
    linearLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    linearLayout.setHorizontalGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    linearLayout.setHorizontalGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    //addView(imageView, 0);

    return toast;
}

}

and this is use of it:

utility.makeImageToast(getApplicationContext(),
                 R.drawable.your_image,"your_text",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
