Tutorial Contents

Lets try an example where we will use TOASTY library inside android application -

Paste the following code inside the "dependencies()" method of build.graddle(app) file :-

compile 'com.github.GrenderG:Toasty:1.2.5'

Paste the following code inside the "repositories" area of build.graddle(app) file :-

maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

Paste the following code inside the "colors.xml " file :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
    <color name="fourth_color">#2196f3</color>
    <color name="third_color">#9c27b0</color>
    <color name="second_color">#e91e63</color>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
    <color name="first_color">#f44336</color>
    <color name="fifth_color">#f44336</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
</resources>

There will be no more code inside the colors.xml file . You can see that I have used 8 types of colors through the color codes. I will use these inside the activity_main.xml & MainActivity.java file.

Paste the following code inside activity_main.xml file :

<LinearLayout xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.mmaruf.myapplication.MainActivity">


    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:text="Toast for showing wrong  " />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:text="Toast for showing any successful work done  " />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button3"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Toast to show any info " />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button4"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Toast to show any warning " />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button5"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="An example for showing normal Toast " />
</LinearLayout>

No other code will be there inside the file. I have used 6 different buttons to show different kinds of toast by the TOASTY library.

Paste the following code inside MainActivity.java file :

    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
    import android.widget.Toast;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.Button;
import es.dmoral.toasty.Toasty;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button first_button;
    Button second_utton;
    Button third_button;
    Button fourth_button;
    Button fifth_button;
     @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toasty.Config.getInstance()// initializing toasty library
                .setErrorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(),R.color.first_color))//1st color code for the first button
                .setErrorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(),R.color.second_color))//2nd color code for the second button
                .setErrorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(),R.color.third_color))//3rd color code for the 3rd button
                .setErrorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(),R.color.fourth_color))//4thcolor code for the 4th button
                .setErrorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(),R.color.fifth_color))//5th color code for the 5th button

                .tintIcon(true)// This line is for coloring the icons

                .apply(); 


        first_button =(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        second_utton =(Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
        third_button =(Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
        fourth_button =(Button) findViewById(R.id.button4);
        fifth_button =(Button) findViewById(R.id.button5);

        first_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View my) {
                Toasty.error(getApplicationContext(), "Example of a Wrong TOAST", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

            }});

        second_utton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View my) {
                Toasty.success(getApplicationContext(), "Example of a successful TOAST", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

            }});


        third_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View my) {
                Toasty.info(getApplicationContext()," Example of a info TOAST", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

            }});


        fourth_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View my) {
                Toasty.warning(getApplicationContext(), "Example of a warning TOAST", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

            }});


        fifth_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View my) {
                Toasty.normal(getApplicationContext(), "example of a general TOAST", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }}); }}

Nothing more will be inside the MainActivity.java file. You will see that I have initialized TOASTY inside the onCreate() method. I have initialized also 5 buttons. Then I have used buttonOnClick method to show the toasts.

Result :

After doing all the works mentioned above, if we run the project inside android studio, we will able to see the following result :
