How to change position of Toast in android ?

What is Toast?

A toast provides simple feedback about an operation as a simple popup message. It is usually be displayed at the bottom of the Application.

What are we going to develop?

The application which we are going to develop will help you to create toast messages in different positions by altering Gravity and also by taking custom X-offset and Y-offset values.

Positioning the Toast message

 A standard toast notification appears at the bottom of the screen, centered horizontally. You can alter this position with the help of setGravity(int, int, int) method. This method accepts three parameters: a Gravity constant, an x-position offset, and a y-position offset.
Below piece of code will display the Toast at top-left corner with X-Offset and Y-Offset as 100 and 200 respectively.


  1. Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello toast!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
  2. // Set the Gravity to Top and Left
  3. toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT, 100, 200);
  4. toast.show();

To show the Toast in Top Right corner with X-Offset and Y-Offset as 100 and 200 respectively:

4
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello toast!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
// Set the Gravity to Top and Right
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.RIGHT, 100, 200);
toast.show();



Step 1: Create Android Application Project

  • Create new android project [File >> New >> Android Application Project] with project name AndroidToastPosition
  • Enter package name as ‘com.prgguru.example’ and activity name as ‘MainActivity’
  • Choose Minimum Required SDK, Target SDK and Compile with (Choose latest SDKs to make sure Facebook SDK will work without a ny issues). Confused on choosing these options? Take a look at Minimum Required SDK – Target SDK – Compile With post.
  • Click Next button and finally click ‘Finish’ to create project
Step 2: Design screen
Open activity_main.xml and replace it with below code.

Android Audio Manager New Tutorial

, , No Comments
in  post, I will be discussing about using , AudioManager Class in Android applications.

with AudioManager Class provides access to volume and ringer mode control which was added in API level
I wrote separate post about using AudioManager in getting and setting the current device’s volume (Media player, , Notification etc) long back.

But in this post, I am going to discuss about using AudioManager in getting and setting the ringer mode (Silent, Vibrate and Normal).
What is Seekbar?
A SeekBar is an extension of ProgressBar that adds a draggable thumb. The user can touch the thumb and drag left or right to set the current progress level or use the arrow keys.
Usage: Seekbar can be used to adjust media player volume, set brightness of the screen, seek a playing music etc.
What are we going to develop?
We will develop a simple application to demonstrate how it is used to set Media player, Ringer, Alarm and Notification volume for your device.

Application layout will look like:
Change to graphical layout of Main.xml, the layout design should look like below:

Create following objects under SeekBarExampleActivity class to refer seekbars and to get audimanager:
1

3

private SeekBar mediaVlmSeekBar = null;
private SeekBar ringerVlmSeekBar = null;
private SeekBar alarmVlmSeekBar = null;
private SeekBar notifyVlmSeekBar = null;
private AudioManager audioManager = null;
Suggests an audio stream whose volume should be changed by the hardware volume controls. Add following snippet inside onCreate method after ‘super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)’
1

this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);       
this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);   
this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
A separate method ‘initControls’ to handle the seekbars is going to be created, call it inside onCreate method:

1
initControls();
private void initControls() {
//Return the handle to a system-level service - 'AUDIO'.
audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
