Custom Toast message using CustomView in Sketchware

To create a custom Toast message in Sketchware, follow the steps given below.

1. In your Sketchware android project, in VIEW area, create a new CustomView with name custom1. In this CustomView add a LinearH linear1 and a TextView textview1.

Customize the textview1 and linear1 as per your requirement.

2. In LOGIC area, add a new More Block with name customToast(String _text) as shown in image below.

3. Next define this customToast Block. In event customToast MoreBlock use add source directly block, and in the block, write codes as described below.

First define a new LayoutInflater and use it to create a View from the CustomView.
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View toastLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom1, null);

Initialize textview1 and linear1 used in CustomView.
TextView textview1 = (TextView) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.textview1);
LinearLayout linear1 = (LinearLayout) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.linear1);

Set the text of textview1 to String _text.
textview1.setText(_text);

Create a new Toast.
Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());

Set duration of Toast.
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);

Set the View created from CustomView, as view of Toast.
toast.setView(toastLayout);

Show the Toast.
toast.show();


The complete code should look like this:
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(); View toastLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom1, null);

TextView textview1 = (TextView) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.textview1);
textview1.setText(_text);
LinearLayout linear1 = (LinearLayout) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.linear1);

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext()); toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setView(toastLayout);
toast.show();

If you want to round the corners of the Toast, you can create a GradientDrawable or any ShapeDrawable with rounded corners and set it as Background of linear1 or textview1. Here is an example with GradientDrawable.
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(); View toastLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom1, null);

TextView textview1 = (TextView) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.textview1);
textview1.setText(_text);
LinearLayout linear1 = (LinearLayout) toastLayout.findViewById(R.id.linear1);

android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable gd = new android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable();
gd.setColor(Color.parseColor("#00449a"));
gd.setCornerRadius(60);
gd.setStroke(2, Color.parseColor("#ff0000"));
linear1.setBackground(gd);

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext()); toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setView(toastLayout);
toast.show();

4. Use the more Block whenever you want to display a custom Toast, as shown in image below.


5. Save and run the project.


The video below shows how to use the code written above.
