Question

I need to implement a custom Toast which position changes according to other views on the screen.
Basically what I’m looking for is a layout_alignBelow option for the toast…

Any ideas?

Thanks!

First, you need to calculate the expected x-axis and y-axis of your Toast relative to your Views on the screen. Afterwards, create a custom Toast and pass the axis information to it:

int x, y;  //needs to be calculated

Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "your message",
          Toast.LENGTH_LONG);  
t.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.LEFT, x, y);
t.show();
