Show toast widget underneath a view

android, eclipse, sdk, toast

Solution

From what I learned, this is the best I came up with for the program. Doing this puts the Toast message in the center of the phone.

if(input > 100) {   
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, 
                R.string.over_guess, 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0); 
            toast.show();   
            return;
            }
        else if(input < comp) {
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, 
                getString(R.string.guess_low, input), 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0); 
            toast.show();
        }
        else if(input > comp) {
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, 
                getString(R.string.guess_high, input), 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0); 
            toast.show();
        }
        else {
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, 
                getString(R.string.correct, comp, guesses), 
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0); 
            toast.show();
        }

Problem

For those who helped me out earlier regarding this project, thank you very much! My code no longer has any problems, and I made extra tweaks. Now that the app is actually robust now, I want to do one more thing. See screenshot of the layout here. Normally, the toast view appears at the bottom center of the screen. I want to make it appear just below (8dp) the Submit button once OnClick is called. How can I accomplish this. See my updated complete project here. ``` package com.lookjohn.guessnumber; import java.util.Random; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; public class MainActivity extends Activity { Random random; Button button; EditText text; int input; int MIN, MAX; int comp; int guesses; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); random = new Random(); button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1); text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1); MIN = 1; MAX = 100; comp = random.nextInt(MAX - MIN + 1) + MIN; // Generate random number between 1 and 100. guesses = 0; button.setOnClickListener(myhandler1); } View.OnClickListener myhandler1 = new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { // Implemented max number of guesses, detect // number of guesses and return from the method. String value = text.getText().toString(); // Get value from input from editTextView // If user submits an empty EditText, return to prevent a crash. if (value.isEmpty()) { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You must enter a guess!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); return; } input = Integer.parseInt(value); // Turn string into integer guesses++; if (input > 100) { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "That number is greater than 100. Not Valid!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); return; } else if (input < comp) Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Your number is too small.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); else if (input > comp) Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Your number is too big.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); else Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Good job! The answer was " + comp + ".\n" + "You made " + guesses + " guesses.\n" + "Restart the app to try again.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }; @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } } ```
