Android Question MyToastMessageShow truncting text

[Robert Valentino]

I modified MyToastMessageShow to use a Mono Space font so if I want to do a multi line message I can line things up.

Public  Sub MyToastMessageShow(Text As Object, LongDuration As Boolean, Center As Boolean, BackgroundColor As Int, TextColor As Int, Alert As Boolean)
           Dim toast        As JavaObject
   
           Dim ctxt        As JavaObject
           Dim duration    As Int
           
           ctxt.InitializeContext
           
           If  LongDuration Then
               duration = 1
           Else
               duration = 0
           End If
           
           Dim cs As CSBuilder
           
           cs.Initialize.Typeface(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.MONOSPACE, Typeface.STYLE_ITALIC)).Bold.Color(TextColor).Size(16).Append(Text).PopAll

           toast = toast.InitializeStatic("android.widget.Toast").RunMethod("makeText", Array(ctxt, cs, duration))
           
           Dim v    As View = toast.RunMethod("getView", Null)
           
           v.Background = MakeColorDrawable(BackgroundColor, 5dip, 2dip, TextColor)
 
             If  Center Then
               toast.RunMethod("setGravity", Array(Bit.Or(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL), 0, 0))
           End If
           
           If  Alert Then
               mAlertBeeper.Beep
           End If
           
           toast.RunMethod("show", Null)
End Sub

A lot of my messages are getting Truncated when I call it

 cGenFuncs.MyToastMessageShow("Long Click / Press & Hold to PAY", True, True, Colors.Red, Colors.White, False)

As you can see in this Message the "Y" is being chopped - Sometimes the whole letter is missing.
That I need to add some extra spaces at the end to make sure everything shows.

Is there ANY fix for this

Note that you can make these customizations with the standard ToastMessageShow method.

Understood, but that doesn't let me change the Border / Background colors or Center the dialog box

Another option is to create your own message. It is just a panel with a label:

pnlToast.SetVisibleAnimated(200, True)
Sleep(3000)
pnlToast.SetVisibleAnimated(200, False)

Make sure to set the panel elevation to 2dip or more.
