Custom Toast in Android

Some time a simple text message isn't enough, to display toast.
at that time you can create a customized layout for your toast notification.

To create a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML or in your application code,
and pass the root View object to the setView(View) method.

Example Project:
Create layout for custom layout of Toast(toast_layout.xml) in drawable folder

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toast_layout_root"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#DAAA"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="8dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#FFF" />

</LinearLayout>

(UI layout for activity(toast_display.xml)) in drawable folder
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".ToastDisplayActivity" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/showToast"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="Show Toast" />

</RelativeLayout>

Activity class(ToastDisplayActivity.java)

package com.androidsurya.toastexample;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class ToastDisplayActivity extends Activity {
    Button showToast;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.toast_display);
        showToast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showToast);
        showToast.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
                View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.toast_layout,
                        (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root));
                TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
                text.setText("This is a custom toast");
                Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
                toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
                toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                toast.setView(layout);
                toast.show();
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.toast_display, menu);
        return true;
    }

}
