                Toast.makeText(context, "I see ${result.candidates[0].text}", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)

Answer 1

You will need to define a TextView in your layout file and then setText(...) with the detection result you get in onSuccessListener.

Answer 2

You could use a SnackBar. Add this to your code:

    fun showSnackBar(message: String) {
    val snackBar =
        Snackbar.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content), message, 
    Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
    val snackBarView = snackBar.view
    snackBarView.setBackgroundColor(
        ContextCompat.getColor(
            this@BaseActivity,
            R.color.PUTCOLORHERE
        )
    )
    snackBar.show()
}

You could replace your toast like this:

recognizer.recognize(ink)
        .addOnSuccessListener { result: RecognitionResult ->
          showSnackBar("PUT WORDS HERE")
        }
