    copied!<p>I've tried a variety of things to do this. At first I tried using the <code>cancel()</code>, which had no effect for me (see also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7235755/1276636">this answer</a>).</p> <p>With <code>setDuration(n)</code> I wasn't coming to anywhere either. It turned out by logging <code>getDuration()</code> that it carries a value of 0 (if <code>makeText()</code>'s parameter was <code>Toast.LENGTH_SHORT</code>) or 1 (if <code>makeText()</code>'s parameter was <code>Toast.LENGTH_LONG</code>).</p> <p>Finally I tried to check if the toast's view <code>isShown()</code>. Of course it isn't if no toast is shown, but even more, it returns a fatal error in this case. So I needed to try and catch the error. Now, <code>isShown()</code> returns true if a toast is displayed. Utilizing <code>isShown()</code> I came up with the method:</p> <pre><code> /** * &lt;strong&gt;public void showAToast (String st)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/br&gt; * this little method displays a toast on the screen.&lt;/br&gt; * it checks if a toast is currently visible&lt;/br&gt; * if so &lt;/br&gt; * ... it "sets" the new text&lt;/br&gt; * else&lt;/br&gt; * ... it "makes" the new text&lt;/br&gt; * and "shows" either or * @param st the string to be toasted */ public void showAToast (String st){ //"Toast toast" is declared in the class try{ toast.getView().isShown(); // true if visible toast.setText(st); } catch (Exception e) { // invisible if exception toast = Toast.makeText(theContext, st, toastDuration); } toast.show(); //finally display it } </code></pre>
