⚡️ You must to use makeText() method to set text and duration instead of using setText() on Toast object!.
Java Example:Context appContext = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Android: Hello toast!";
int toastDuration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast myToast = Toast.makeText(appContext, toastMsgText, toastDuration);
myToast.show();
Kotlin Example:
val toastMsgText = "Android: Hello toast!"
val toastDuration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
val myToast = Toast.makeText(applicationContext, toastMsgText, toastDuration)
toast.show()
