hi pesquera, u can catch the events in a string and give the string to the toast.

P.S.

U can use the seconds instead long delay example:

[ ToastDuration = 6 ]
it'll display the toast 6 seconds.


If i understood good please let me know otherwise make an examples and i'll try it.

hi Lonleystar, thanks for your reply..
I'm a bit confused.. to display 6 seconds doesn't should be ToastDuration=6000?
What I'm trying to do is assign a big ToastDuration time, let's say 10 seconds.. but, I want that the user can close it doing a click on the message
I thought that clicking on the message fires an event (click event)
Sub myToast_Click
do something
end sub

Ciao Giuseppe.

Non ho provato la libreria ma se posso dare un consiglio, io aggiungerei, se non è troppo complicato, un metodo per interrompere la visualizzazione del messaggio. Cioè, magari la imposti per 5 secondi ma poi vuoi interromperla prima dello scadere.

Ad esempio, io ho una lista che, appena caricata di dati, questi possono "lanciare" alcuni messaggi toast in sequenza; se l'utente esce dall'activity, tutta la coda di messaggi dovrebbe terminare.

Provo a tradurre, in maniera più sintetica ;).
_______________________________________

Synthetic translation:

It would be a useful method to cancel a message before the display time has expired.

With regard to:

I downloaded your example (I could not run it because I own the previous version of B4A, but I used the code of Activity).

In the initialization code:
B4X:
Toast.ToastDuration =5000' toast.TOAST_LONG_DELAY

So the time is expressed in milliseconds (it should be specified in the description).

When I press 2 or more buttons in a row, I get the display of the first message and not the next.

Instead, if I use:
B4X:
Sub btnShowToastMsg_Click
    Toast.ToastShow("Hello")
    Toast.ToastShow("Bye bye")
End Sub

only the second one will be displayed.

The original Toast manages a message queue, as this last code would show both messages (unfortunately, using the original, I do not have the capability to terminate a message or the whole queue).

Finally, I have not figured out how to use the event (if there is one).
Normally, the text written in the initialization is the name of an event, but it is partial. That is:
B4X:
Dim btn as Button
btn.Initialize("MyButton")

sub MyButton_Click
...

but for a different object (view), I could have a greater number of events, for example MyButton_DoubleClick.

In short, MyButton is not actually the name of the event; what is the full name of the event if I initialize:
B4X:
Toast.Initialize("MyToast")
sub MyToast_???

(Personally, I would rename the method "ToastShow" as "Show")

Thanks for your reply.

I don't need events, but I did not understand the answer to this question ;)

(i think the Toasts don't need events).

As I wrote (in italian, Giuseppe Salvi!?), I have a list of data in a scrollview. Each of them could "send" a toast, when loaded (i don't like it, probably I'll change all this behavior); using the original Toast, messages are displayed sequentially, and this is the right behavior, but Toasts still on screen even if the user changes activity, and this is not useful.

For this reason, I counseled you to add a method to "close" the message (you have done this quickly, great job) but what is missing is the queue.

Very nice library.

Hi All, thank you.. it's very useful to stop toast when closing the activity
Now, I need also to stop it when the user press (click) on the toast message.. How can I do it?

Thanks for the lib, good job!

But, on the device with android 2.3.7 it throws a error message:


java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.widget.TextView.setPaddingRelative.

Hi, U get this error because U put an icon with the same name in your assets folder it is alreadi included in to the lib. that's why U get this error.

P.S.
I'll change it.
