Android Toast in iPhone.

Question

I have made Android application a few months ago. The Toast class is very useful for me. I do not need to consider the main Thread and place to show it. Anywhere I can show it and just leave that and it is automatically disappeared.

Toast.makeTest(context, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

That's it. ^^

What about iPhone? Is there something like the Toast? Just show message and do not need to care about it. It will be automatically disappeared.

Anyone, who knows about it, please help me.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no class "out-of-the-box" in UIKit to do this. But it is quite easy to create a class that will offer this behavior.

You just have to create a class that inherit from UIView. This class will have the responsibility - to create what you want to display, - to add itself in parent view hierarchy - to dismiss itself using a timer.

You will be able to use it like :

[ToastView toastViewInView:myParentView withText:@"what a wonderful text"];
