When we want to let user know that something happening we can use Toast.
Let’s see how to create Toast in in Android in Xamarin Forms
Create xamrin foms application with Android project
- In .net standard project add a Interface
| public interface IToastMessageService | |
| { | |
| void ShowToastMessage(string message); | |
| } |
- In Android project add ToastMessageService and implement the IToastMessageService
| [assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(ToastMessageService))] | |
| namespace ToastTestXamarin.Droid | |
| { | |
| public class ToastMessageService : IToastMessageService | |
| { | |
| public void ShowToastMessage(string message) | |
| { | |
| Toast.MakeText(Android.App.Application.Context, message, ToastLength.Long).Show(); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } |
- In MainPage.xaml add a button
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> | |
| <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" | |
| xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" | |
| xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ToastTestXamarin" | |
| x:Class="ToastTestXamarin.MainPage"> | |
| <Button x:Name="BtnToastMessage" Text="Show Toast" Clicked="ShowToast"></Button> | |
| </ContentPage> |
- And in the code behind implement the event handler
| private void ShowToast(Object sender, EventArgs args) | |
| { | |
| DependencyService.Get<IToastMessageService>().ShowToastMessage("Test Toast Message"); | |
| } |
Finally run the project 🙂
