Think of Toast like a subtitle in movies. It's a simple text that shows for X seconds. It has no buttons, it's like a bubble that tells you something happened, then vanishes out.
If you setup a long period for a toast, that will be visible too long and will degrade the user experience, as in movies if you have a subtitle on screen for a long time, longer then the speech, you dislike it. http://www.androidx.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/android-toast-usage-03.png 2009/11/10 pushkar bandi <pushkarse...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > Could somebody give me some detailed information about toast? > > I got a comment saying that "This is called a "toast" and cannot be > dismissed by the user.
