Changing the font of a Toast in Android involves customizing the layout of the Toast. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Place your custom font (e.g., my_custom_font.ttf) inside the res/font directory of your project. If the font directory doesn't exist, create it.
Create a new layout file named custom_toast.xml in the res/layout directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/textToast"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:background="#CC000000"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:fontFamily="@font/my_custom_font"/>
In your activity or fragment:
import android.graphics.Typeface
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.widget.TextView
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// Call the function to show the toast
showToastWithCustomFont("Hello with custom font!")
}
private fun showToastWithCustomFont(message: String) {
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this)
val layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, findViewById(R.id.rootLayout))
val text: TextView = layout.findViewById(R.id.textToast)
text.text = message
// If you want to further change the typeface (e.g., bold):
// text.typeface = Typeface.create(resources.getFont(R.font.my_custom_font), Typeface.BOLD)
val toast = Toast(this)
toast.duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG
toast.view = layout
toast.show()
}
}
Replace R.id.rootLayout with the ID of your root layout if you have another name for it.
In the showToastWithCustomFont function:
TextView.Now, when you call the showToastWithCustomFont function, it'll display the message using the custom font you set in the custom_toast.xml layout.
Customize Toast message font in Android:
Customize the font of a Toast message by creating a custom TextView and setting its font:
val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Font Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) val view = toast.view // Create a custom TextView val customTextView = TextView(this) customTextView.text = "Custom Font Toast" customTextView.typeface = customFont // Set your custom font // Set the custom TextView as the Toast view toast.view = customTextView toast.show()
Setting custom font for Toast in Android:
Define a custom Typeface and apply it to the TextView inside the Toast:
val customFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(assets, "custom_font.ttf") // Load your custom font val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Font Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) val view = toast.view // Get the TextView from the default Toast layout val textView = view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message) // Apply the custom font to the TextView textView.typeface = customFont toast.show()
Custom Toast with custom font example code:
Create a custom layout for the Toast and set a custom font:
val inflater = layoutInflater val layout: View = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast_layout, findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_root)) // Set your custom font to the TextView in the custom layout val customTextView = layout.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.customToastText) customTextView.typeface = customFont val toast = Toast(applicationContext) toast.duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT toast.view = layout toast.show()
Change Toast text appearance in Android:
Customize the appearance of the Toast text using a custom SpannableString:
val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Text Appearance", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
val spannableString = SpannableString("Custom Text Appearance")
spannableString.setSpan(ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 0, spannableString.length, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
val view = toast.view
val textView = view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message)
textView.text = spannableString
toast.show()
Using custom Typeface for Toast message in Android:
Apply a custom Typeface to the Toast message:
val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Typeface Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) val view = toast.view val textView = view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message) // Apply the custom Typeface to the TextView textView.typeface = customFont toast.show()
Modify Toast style and font in Android app:
Customize the style and font of the Toast by creating a custom layout and setting a custom Typeface:
val inflater = layoutInflater val layout: View = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast_layout, findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_root)) val customTextView = layout.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.customToastText) customTextView.typeface = customFont val toast = Toast(applicationContext) toast.duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT toast.view = layout toast.show()
Toast.makeText with custom font in Android:
Use Toast.makeText with a custom font:
val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Font Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) val view = toast.view // Get the TextView from the default Toast layout val textView = view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message) // Apply the custom font to the TextView textView.typeface = customFont toast.show()
Customizing Toast duration and position in Android:
Customize the Toast duration and position:
val toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Custom Duration and Position", Toast.LENGTH_LONG) toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP or Gravity.START, 0, 0) // Set custom position val view = toast.view val textView = view.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.message) // Apply any other customizations as needed toast.show()
