Quick Overview

LoadToast is an Android library that provides a simple and customizable loading toast animation. It offers a sleek, material design-inspired loading indicator that can be easily integrated into Android applications to enhance user experience during loading or processing operations.

Pros

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(this);
lt.setText("Processing...");
lt.show();

// If an error occurs
lt.error();

Getting Started

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

  1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file:
allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}
  1. Add the dependency to your app's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.code-mc:loadtoast:1.0.12'
}

  1. Sync your project with Gradle files.

  2. Use LoadToast in your Activity or Fragment:

import net.steamcrafted.loadtoast.LoadToast;

// In your code
LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(this);
lt.setText("Loading...");
lt.show();

LoadToast:

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(this).setProgressColor(Color.RED).setText("Sending...").show();
lt.success();

Key Differences

  • StyleableToast focuses on enhancing the visual appearance of toast messages
  • LoadToast provides a progress indicator functionality
  • StyleableToast offers more customization options for text and background
  • LoadToast is better suited for showing loading states and operation results

Use Cases

StyleableToast:

  • Displaying visually appealing notifications
  • Customizing toast appearance to match app theme

LoadToast:

  • Showing progress for ongoing operations
  • Indicating success or failure of tasks

Community and Maintenance

:bread: Make your native android Toasts Tasty

Pros of TastyToast

  • Offers a wider variety of toast styles and animations
  • Includes custom icons and colors for different toast types
  • Provides more customization options for toast appearance

Cons of TastyToast

  • Larger library size due to additional features
  • May require more setup and configuration
  • Potentially higher learning curve for developers

Code Comparison

TastyToast:

TastyToast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello World!", TastyToast.LENGTH_LONG, TastyToast.SUCCESS);

LoadToast:

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(this);
lt.setText("Sending...");
lt.show();

TastyToast offers more built-in toast types and styles, while LoadToast focuses on a simpler, progress-oriented approach. TastyToast requires specifying the toast type in the method call, whereas LoadToast uses a more traditional object-oriented approach with separate method calls for setting text and showing the toast.

Both libraries aim to enhance the default Android toast functionality, but they cater to different use cases. TastyToast is more suitable for applications requiring diverse toast styles, while LoadToast is better for scenarios where loading progress feedback is the primary concern.

A library that extends the Android toast framework.

Pros of SuperToasts

  • Offers a wider variety of toast types (SuperActivityToast, SuperCardToast, etc.)
  • Provides more customization options for appearance and behavior
  • Includes built-in animations and progress indicators

Cons of SuperToasts

  • More complex API, potentially steeper learning curve
  • Larger library size due to additional features
  • Less frequent updates and maintenance compared to LoadToast

Code Comparison

LoadToast usage:

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(context).setMessage("Loading");
lt.show();
// ... perform task
lt.success();

SuperToasts usage:

SuperActivityToast.create(context, "Loading", Style.DURATION_SHORT)
    .setFrame(Style.FRAME_LOLLIPOP)
    .setColor(PaletteUtils.getSolidColor(PaletteUtils.MATERIAL_BLUE))
    .show();

SuperToasts offers more customization options but requires more code for basic usage. LoadToast provides a simpler API for quick implementation of loading indicators with success/error states.

Both libraries serve similar purposes but cater to different needs. LoadToast is ideal for simple loading indicators, while SuperToasts is better suited for applications requiring diverse toast types and extensive customization.

Pros of FancyToast-Android

  • Offers a wider variety of toast styles and customization options
  • Includes built-in icons for different toast types (success, error, warning, etc.)
  • Allows for easy creation of custom toast layouts

Cons of FancyToast-Android

  • Larger library size due to additional features and resources

Code Comparison

FancyToast-Android:

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

LoadToast:

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(this).setProgressColor(Color.RED).setText("Uploading...").setTranslationY(100);
lt.show();

FancyToast-Android provides a more expressive API for creating toasts with predefined styles, while LoadToast focuses on a simpler, progress-oriented approach. FancyToast-Android offers more customization options out of the box, but LoadToast provides a more streamlined experience for loading-specific notifications.

Both libraries aim to enhance the default Android toast functionality, with FancyToast-Android offering a broader range of use cases and LoadToast specializing in progress-related notifications. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of your project and the level of customization needed for toast messages.

Load Toast Library

The default toasts are ugly and don't really provide much more than a short message. This small library provides a better toast which will give the user feedback by morphing into a checkmark or cross (success and fail). The lifetime of the toast is completely controlled by you.

Demo

Usage

Step 1

Gradle

dependencies {
    compile 'net.steamcrafted:load-toast:1.0.12'
}

Step 2

The API is very simple, create a new toast by providing a context:

LoadToast lt = new LoadToast(context);

Change the displayed text:

lt.setText("Sending Reply...");

If you don't have a message to display, the toast will shrink to only show the circular loader.

Then proceed to show the toast:

lt.show();

When your background thingy is done provide feedback to the user and hide the toast:

// Call this if it was successful
lt.success();

// Or this method if it failed
lt.error();

// Or if no feedback is desired you can simply hide the toast
lt.hide();

To properly position the toast use the following method to adjust the Y offset:

lt.setTranslationY(100); // y offset in pixels

You can also change the colors of the different toast elements:

lt.setTextColor(Color.RED).setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN).setProgressColor(Color.BLUE);

In some situations a border might be desired for increased visibility, by default it is transparent:

// Change the border color
lt.setBorderColor(int color);

// Change the border width
lt.setBorderWidthPx(int widthPx);
lt.setBorderWidthDp(int widthDp);
lt.setBorderWidthRes(int resourceId);

When displaying a message in a RTL language you can force the text to marquee from left to right instead of the default right to left:

// pass in false for RTL text, true for LTR text
lt.setTextDirection(boolean isLeftToRight);

These can be chained as you can see.
