🌈 A Beautiful Motion Toast Library for Kotlin Android

Quick Overview

Toasty is a lightweight Android library that allows developers to easily add a customizable toast animation to their applications. It provides a fun and nostalgic throwback to the classic Mortal Kombat "Toasty!" easter egg, while offering customization options for modern app designs.

Pros

Easy integration with minimal setup required
Highly customizable, allowing developers to change images, sounds, and animation behavior
Lightweight library with minimal impact on app performance
Adds a unique and playful element to Android applications

Cons

May not be suitable for all types of applications, especially those with a more serious tone
Limited use case, as it's primarily a visual gimmick rather than a core functionality
Potential for overuse, which could annoy users if not implemented thoughtfully
Requires careful consideration of sound usage to avoid disrupting user experience

Code Examples

Basic usage:

Toasty.show(context, R.drawable.my_image)

This code displays the Toasty animation with a custom image.

Customizing animation duration:

Toasty.show(context, R.drawable.my_image, durationInMillis = 1500)

This example sets a custom duration for the Toasty animation.

Adding a custom sound:

Toasty.show(context, R.drawable.my_image, soundId = R.raw.my_sound)

This code adds a custom sound to play during the Toasty animation.

Changing animation direction:

Toasty.show(context, R.drawable.my_image, fromBottom = false)

This example makes the Toasty animation appear from the right side instead of the bottom.

Getting Started

To use Toasty in your Android project, follow these steps:

Add the JitPack repository to your project's build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add the dependency to your app's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.GrenderG:Toasty:1.5.2'
}

In your activity or fragment, use Toasty as shown in the code examples above.

FancyToast-Android

Make your native android Toasts Fancy. A library that takes the standard Android toast to the next level with a variety of styling options. Style your toast from code.

Pros of FancyToast-Android

Offers more customization options, including custom icons and fonts
Provides a wider range of pre-defined toast styles (Success, Error, Warning, Info, Default, Confusing)
Allows for easy creation of custom toast layouts

Cons of FancyToast-Android

Less actively maintained (last update was 2 years ago)
Fewer stars and forks on GitHub, indicating potentially less community support
Slightly more complex implementation compared to Toasty

Code Comparison

FancyToast-Android:

FancyToast.makeText(this, "Hello World!", FancyToast.LENGTH_LONG, FancyToast.SUCCESS, true).show();

Toasty:

Toasty.success(getApplicationContext(), "Hello World!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

Both libraries offer similar ease of use, with FancyToast-Android providing more built-in styles. Toasty's implementation is slightly more concise, while FancyToast-Android offers more customization options in a single line of code.

Overall, FancyToast-Android provides more features and customization options, making it suitable for projects requiring diverse toast styles. However, Toasty is more actively maintained and has a larger community, which may be preferable for long-term stability and support.

MotionToast

🌈 A Beautiful Motion Toast Library for Kotlin Android

Pros of MotionToast

Offers more customizable and visually appealing toast animations
Supports dark mode and custom themes out of the box
Provides a wider variety of pre-defined toast styles (success, error, warning, etc.)

Cons of MotionToast

Larger library size due to additional features and animations
Slightly more complex implementation compared to Toasty's simplicity
May require more system resources for animations

Code Comparison

MotionToast:

MotionToast.createColorToast(this,
    "Success",
    "Profile Updated Successfully!",
    MotionToastStyle.SUCCESS,
    MotionToast.GRAVITY_BOTTOM,
    MotionToast.LONG_DURATION,
    ResourcesCompat.getFont(this, R.font.helvetica_regular))

Toasty:

Toasty.success(getApplicationContext(), "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

MotionToast offers more customization options in a single method call, while Toasty provides a simpler, more concise implementation. MotionToast allows for greater control over appearance and positioning, whereas Toasty focuses on quick, pre-defined toast styles with minimal configuration.

Alerter

5,515

An Android Alerting Library

Pros of Alerter

More customizable appearance with options for custom layouts and icons
Supports chaining multiple alerts
Offers swipe-to-dismiss functionality

Cons of Alerter

Slightly more complex implementation compared to Toasty
Limited to displaying alerts at the top of the screen

Code Comparison

Alerter:

Alerter.create(this@DemoActivity)
    .setTitle("Alert Title")
    .setText("Alert text...")
    .show()

Toasty:

Toasty.info(context, "Info toast!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

Key Differences

Alerter focuses on creating customizable alert dialogs that appear at the top of the screen, while Toasty specializes in enhancing Android's built-in toast notifications. Alerter offers more advanced features like custom layouts and chaining multiple alerts, making it suitable for more complex notification requirements. Toasty, on the other hand, provides a simpler API for creating stylized toast messages with predefined styles and icons.

Alerter is better suited for applications that need prominent, customizable alerts with more screen presence. Toasty is ideal for quick, non-intrusive notifications that blend well with Android's native look and feel.

README

Toasty

The usual Toast, but with steroids.

Prerequisites

Add this in your root build.gradle file (not your module build.gradle file):

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
	}
}

Dependency

Add this to your module's build.gradle file (make sure the version matches the JitPack badge above):

dependencies {
	...
	implementation 'com.github.GrenderG:Toasty:1.5.2'
}

Configuration

This step is optional, but if you want you can configure some Toasty parameters. Place this anywhere in your app:

Toasty.Config.getInstance()
    .tintIcon(boolean tintIcon) // optional (apply textColor also to the icon)
    .setToastTypeface(@NonNull Typeface typeface) // optional
    .setTextSize(int sizeInSp) // optional
    .allowQueue(boolean allowQueue) // optional (prevents several Toastys from queuing)
    .setGravity(int gravity, int xOffset, int yOffset) // optional (set toast gravity, offsets are optional)
    .supportDarkTheme(boolean supportDarkTheme) // optional (whether to support dark theme or not)
    .setRTL(boolean isRTL) // optional (icon is on the right)
    .apply(); // required

You can reset the configuration by using reset() method:

Toasty.Config.reset();

Usage

Each method always returns a Toast object, so you can customize the Toast much more. DON'T FORGET THE show() METHOD!

To display an error Toast:

Toasty.error(yourContext, "This is an error toast.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

To display a success Toast:

Toasty.success(yourContext, "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

To display an info Toast:

Toasty.info(yourContext, "Here is some info for you.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

To display a warning Toast:

Toasty.warning(yourContext, "Beware of the dog.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, true).show();

To display the usual Toast:

Toasty.normal(yourContext, "Normal toast w/o icon").show();

To display the usual Toast with icon:

Toasty.normal(yourContext, "Normal toast w/ icon", yourIconDrawable).show();

You can also create your custom Toasts with the custom() method:

Toasty.custom(yourContext, "I'm a custom Toast", yourIconDrawable, tintColor, duration, withIcon, 
shouldTint).show();

Extra

You can pass formatted text to Toasty!

There are variants of each method, feel free to explore this library.
