Can I cancel previous Toast when I want to show an other Toast?
You need to call method on correct object.
toastObject.cancel()
You just need to declare a "Toast" var like this:
Toast toastMessage;
Then in your function, do it like this:
if (toastMessage!= null) {
toastMessage.cancel();
}
toastMessage= Toast.makeText(context, "The message you want to display", duration);
toastMessage.show();
Here is my answer copied from another similar question here:
- Android cancel Toast when exiting the app and when toast is being shown
The Boast class accomplishes exactly what you need. Most recent code can be found on GitHub here:
- Boast.java
The trick is to keep track of the last Toast that was shown, and to cancel that one.
What I have done is to create a Toast wrapper, that contains a static reference to the last Toast displayed.
When I need to show a new one, I first cancel the static reference, before showing the new one (and saving it in the static).
Here's full code of the Boast wrapper I made - it mimics enough of the Toast methods for me to use it. By default the Boast will cancel the previous one, so you don't build up a queue of Toasts waiting to be displayed.
If you just want to know how to cancel the notifications when exiting your app, you will find lots of help in there.
