Pretty material design toasts with feedback animations

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:1.0.6'
}

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...");

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();

If you are using translucent actionbar in a full screen activity it will appear over the actionbar, fortunately there is a method to change the y translation:

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);

These can be chained as you can see.
