Toast

Toast is a small popup that provides simple feedback about an operation.
It only occupies the space required to display a particular message. and also it will be shown above the current activity. i.e the current activity will remain as it is.

The basic method to display a toast is shown bellow:

String text="Hello";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show;

NOTE: There are two constants to set the duration of toast.

1) LENGTH_SHORT: Show the view or text notification for a short period of time.

2)LENGTH_LONG: Show the view or text notification for a long period of time.

Also, we can set the position of toast on our current activity,

toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.LEFT, 0, 0);
