Android Toast position top

To display an Android Toast message at the Top of an Activity screen (over the ActionBar) we have to make use of the setGravity() function. To do so we have to create a Toast Object, let's see an example

package com.code2care.toast;
		
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class ToastActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_toast);
    }



     

    public void displayToast(View view) {
    	
    	
    	Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
    	        "This toast message will be displayed at the top of the activity screen!",
    	        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    	
    	
    	toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP, 0, 0);
    	toast.show();
    	
    	
    	
    }
}
