Load Toast Library
The default toasts are ugly and don't really provide much more than a short message. This small library provides a better toast which will give the user feedback by morphing into a checkmark or cross (success and fail). The lifetime of the toast is completely controlled by you.
Demo
Usage
Step 1
Gradle
dependencies {
compile 'net.steamcrafted:load-toast:1.0.12'
}
Step 2
The API is very simple, create a new toast by providing a context:
LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(context);
Change the displayed text:
lt.setText("Sending Reply...");
If you don't have a message to display, the toast will shrink to only show the circular loader.
Then proceed to show the toast:
lt.show();
When your background thingy is done provide feedback to the user and hide the toast:
// Call this if it was successful lt.success();
// Or this method if it failed lt.error();
// Or if no feedback is desired you can simply hide the toast lt.hide();
To properly position the toast use the following method to adjust the Y offset:
lt.setTranslationY(100);
// y offset in pixelsYou can also change the colors of the different toast elements:
lt.setTextColor(Color.RED).setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN).setProgressColor(Color.BLUE);
In some situations a border might be desired for increased visibility, by default it is transparent:
// Change the border color lt.setBorderColor(int color);
// Change the border width lt.setBorderWidthPx(int widthPx);
lt.setBorderWidthDp(int widthDp);
lt.setBorderWidthRes(int resourceId);
When displaying a message in a RTL language you can force the text to marquee from left to right instead of the default right to left:
// pass in false for RTL text, true for LTR text lt.setTextDirection(boolean isLeftToRight);
These can be chained as you can see.
