Are you asking about a Java library (this is the libraries forum)?

 

[sigster]

Yes Java library it is

I am try if I can make custom toast to play with and use
the sample I have see online then I need to add XML to it

but when I make new java project not Android I get error

write your xml, put it in project\Objects\res\layout\ and make it read-only.

 

[sigster]

Thanks

do I compile the library with error then put the XML in B4A res/layout folder ?
and it will work ?

 

[Erel]

No. There shouldn't be any errors during compilation. Can you describe your library and why these resources are required?

I am try to put Android Toast sample into library
in the moment I run into problem with getLayoutInflater and R.id.text

still reading on google to see if I can fix this

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html#Basics

public void Show(String message)

 
 public void Show(String message)
  {

     Context context = BA.applicationContext.getApplicationContext();
     LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
     
     View toastRoot = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_toast, null);
     
     Toast toast = new Toast(context);
     
     toast.setView(toastRoot);
     toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL,
             0, 0);
     toast.show();

                 
   
  }    
}


}

Are you looking for the AdditionalRes project attribute?

Useful for libraries that contain XML resources.

Why don't you use ToastMessageShow?

 

[sigster]

I am not java programmer but this is more education and fun, I use ToastMessageShow but I can not change font size and color
did try custom toast in the library works well and I like it but it did take over the display and I need to wait until it go a way
so here I am after lot of search and research with toast I like

maybe to many option I already have calling the toast go out of the LCD but it is challenge to do better

do this mean your are going to upgrade ToastMessageShow with font size,color and Gravity
and I can take a break hehe


'1. title
'2. Message
'3. Title text size
'4. Title Text color
'5. Title Background color
'6. Message text size
'7. Message Text color
'8. Message Background color
