	}
}

Using this library you can display very easy some already implemented Toast messages or create your own.

You can display:

To display Info Toast:
TanTinToast.Info(this).text("Info Toast").show()

To display Warning Toast:
TanTinToast.Warning(this).text("Warning Toast").show()

To display Normal Toast:
TanTinToast.Normal(this).text("Normal Toast").show()

To display Custom Toast:

TanTinToast.Custom(this)
    .text("Custom Toast")
    .icon(R.drawable.icon)
    .background(R.color.colorPrimaryDark)
    .textColor(R.color.colorAccent)
    .time(TanTinToast.LONG)
    .typeface(R.font.montserrat)
    .show()

Using Java

To display an error Toast:
new TanTinToast.Error(this).text("Error Toast ").show();

To display Success Toast:
new TanTinToast.Success(this).text("Success Toast").show();

Customize Toast text

.text("Any text")

Customize Toast time

.time(TanTinToast.LONG)

Use TanTinToast.LONG to display toast for 3.5 seconds or TanTinToast.SHORT to display for 2 seconds.

Customize Toast message FontFamily

.typeface(R.font.custom_font_family)

You can just pass any file under font folder

Customize Toast message TextSIze

.textSize(16)

Use this method to change Toast message text size. Inserted value declares sp value

Using TanTin.Custom

Using Custom you can customize

• The icon.
• The backgroundColor.
• The textColor.
• All the previous customizations.

Use .icon(int) to set Toast icon.
Use .background(int) to set Toast backgroundColor.
Use .textColor(int) to set Toast message textColor.
