   import android.view.LayoutInflater;
   import android.view.View;
   import android.widget.Toast;
   
   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   
       @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
       }
     
       /*____________________________________________________________*/
       /*                                                                                                                       */
       /*__Methode will be call when user click on "Show Simple Toast Message"__*/
       /*____________________________________________________________*/
      
    public void showSimpleToastMessage(View view) {
           Toast.makeText(this, "click on \"Show Simple Toast Message\".", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       }
      
   
       /*____________________________________________________________*/
       /*                                                                                                                        */
       /*__Methode will be call when user click on "Show Custom Toast Message"__*/
       /*____________________________________________________________*/
      
   
    public void showCustomToastMessage(View view) {
           
   //create the LayoutInflater object
           LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
         
     //Create custom view object
           View customToastView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast_view,null);
         
     //create toast object
           Toast toast=new Toast(this);
         
     //update toast to custom view
           toast.setView(customToastView);
      
        //show toast
           toast.show();
       }
