Is it possible to put an image into a Toast?

If not, does anyone know of any way to dismiss a Dialog after a couple of seconds? (Basically tell a dialog to act like a Toast).

Toast does have a setView, so I suppose you could add a layout to it.

I have been messing with that but it keeps throwing exceptions. I'll see if I can make it work, and if so, post my solution here.

Very simple Toast Image example:


[edit]Another one:

The image is not on the background the text is on, but if you want to achieve that, you need to extend Toast.

Excellent. Thank you for these snippets. I'll try them out.

I think this is worth a real snippet entry

MrSnowFlake, I created the snippet in its section, and credited properly. Post
Thanks!

If you try the code, you'll see the image and text aren't on the same background, which is a real drawback, I'd say.

They served my purposes brilliantly. Thanks again.
