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

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

B4X:

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();

                 
   
  }    
}


}

Click to expand...

Are you looking for the AdditionalRes project attribute?

Useful for libraries that contain XML resources.

Why don't you use ToastMessageShow?

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
