Toast based Android interview questions and answers

 What is Toast in Android?

Android Toast can be used to display information for the short period of time. A toast contains message to be displayed quickly and disappears after sometime.

2) When using setDuration() for a Toast, is it possible to set a custom length or at least something longer than Toast.LENGTH_LONG?

A toast can be displayed on the screen is defined by a flag as Duration. We can set duration Short or Long. The value for Short is 2.0 second and value for Long is 3.5 Second.

Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast.makeText(context, "Testing Toast Message.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

You can not directly change the duration of Toast Message which is showing in the show() method. But there is a workaround. You can use CountDownTimer Class or Handler Class to increase display time of Toast.

  • Schedule a countdown until a time in the future, with regular notifications on intervals along the way.
  • you need to create a new Window manager and show and hide the window for the desired duration using a handler

A nullable value cannot be added to another nullable or basic type of value. To retrieve the basic types we need to use safe calls that unwrap the Nullable Types. If on unwrapping, the value is null we can choose to ignore or use a default value instead. The Elvis Operator is used to safely unwrap the value from the Nullable. It’s represented as  ?:  over the nullable type. The value on the right hand side would be used if the nullable type holds a null. var str: String ? = "JournalDev.com" var newStr = str?: "Default Value" str = null newStr = str?: "Default Value" How is  !! different from ?. in unwrapping t
