Question

I have a case where the user needs to fill out a form, and in case of error I need to display an error. I am able to do this like this:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sample Text TEEEEST :)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();    

But for some reason, after about 2 seconds, that text disappears. Is there a way to make it stay on the screen persistently?

Answer 1

Toast stays transient until defined interval. If you want something persistent.

1) Display using dialog box, it stays there until user do something like ok.

2) Use some other TextView to display error message on error condition otherwise empty.
