Toast for LibGDX

Android-like Toast implementation for LibGDX projects. (

Tested with version 1.9.6

How to

1. Include Toast in your LibGDX project
2. Create ToastFactory for your toasts (using Builder):

Toast.ToastFactory toastFactory = new Toast.ToastFactory.Builder()
                .font(font)
                .build();

3. Create toast:

Toast toast = toastFactory.create("Hello world!", Toast.Length.LONG);

4. Display it in render():

toast.render(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime());

You can set some optional attributes while creating the factory:

Toast.ToastFactory toastFactory = new Toast.ToastFactory.Builder()
                .font(font)
                .backgroundColor(new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1f))
                .fadingDuration(1.2f)
                .fontColor(new Color(1f, 0.2f, 0.68f, 0.75f))
                .margin(20)
                .maxTextRelativeWidth(0.5f)
                .positionY(100)
                .build();

Implementation using main Game class

Main core class:

public class MyApp extends Game {
    private final List<Toast> toasts = new LinkedList<Toast>();
    private Toast.ToastFactory toastFactory;

    @Override
    public void create() {
        // load skin and font
        Skin skin = new Skin(Gdx.files.internal("my_skin/skin.json"));
        BitmapFont font = skin.getFont("my_font");

        // create factory
        toastFactory = new Toast.ToastFactory.Builder()
                        .font(font)
                        .build();
    }

    /**
    * Displays long toast
    */
    public void toastLong(String text) {
        toasts.add(toastFactory.create(text, Toast.Length.LONG));
    }

    /**
    * Displays short toast
    */
    public void toastShort(String text) {
        toasts.add(toastFactory.create(text, Toast.Length.SHORT));
    }

    @Override
    public void render() {
        super.render();

        // handle toast queue and display
        Iterator<Toast> it = toasts.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()) {
            Toast t = it.next();
            if (!t.render(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime())) {
                it.remove(); // toast finished -> remove
            } else {
                break; // first toast still active, break the loop
            }
        }
    }
}

Then you can create toast by simply calling game.toastShort("Hello world!"); where game is reference to your instance of MyApp class

This implementation uses FIFO queue so toasts are displayed in the insertion order one by one
