How to dismiss a toast message before the provided time to display it

Question

What i have is a simple toast message that stays dispalayed until 90seconds are completed:

Toast.makeText(ActAtomicGodImages.this, "Please Wait \n Song is buffering ...", 90000);

What i am trying to do:

1. Say i have a button click listener what does some action(Ex: opens another activity).
2. On click of that button i want to dismiss the toast even if the 90seconds are not completed
3. Is this possible, if so how

Answer 1

Call cancel() on the Toast to get rid of it.

However, 90000 will not work. Your choices are Toast.LENGTH_SHORT or Toast.LENGTH_LONG, neither of which are anywhere near 90 seconds in duration.

Answer 2

Do it like this:

1. Define your toast, possibly like this, maybe as a global variable in your class, so you can access it from anywhere in your class:

   Toast toast = new Toast(context);
   

2. To show it

   toast.setText("Text");
   toast.show(); //(call show()  to display Toast)
   

3. When you need to hide it:

   toast.cancel();//(call cancel() to  hide Toast).
   

Also note that a duration of 90000 may not work correctly, as CommonsWare says.
