Question

How I can display a message for a few seconds without using Toast on Android?

For example, if the user has logged in, then I want to show a message like "User logged in successfully" disappears in X seconds.

How I can do?

Answer 1

final Handler handler = new Handler();
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setMessage("FooBar !");
final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    dialog.dismiss();    
  }
}, 3000); // Dismiss in 3 Seconds
