Xamarin.Android Toasts Colored Toast Messages
Example
Sometimes we want to give extra information to our user with colors (for example red means something wrong has happened) We can change toast message background color using setting a color filter to the view which our toast give us (here I use a ColorMatrixColorFilter):
Toast t = Toast.MakeText(context, message, duration);
Color c = */your color/*;
ColorMatrixColorFilter CM = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(new float[]
{
0,0,0,0,c.R,
0,0,0,0,c.G,
0,0,0,0,c.B,
0,0,0,1,0
});
t.View.Background.SetColorFilter(CM);
t.Show();
And also we can change the text color if background is light or dark:
if ((((float)(c.R) + (float)(c.G) + (float)(c.B)) / 3) >= 128)
t.View.FindViewById<TextView>(Android.Resource.Id.Message).SetTextColor(Color.Black);
else
//text color is white by default
