Introduction

Toast messages are the most simple way of providing feedback to the user. By default, Android provide gray color message toast where we can set the message and the duration of the message. If we need to create more customizable and reusable toast message, we can implement it by ourselves with the use of a custom layout. More importantly when we are implementing it, the use of Singelton design pattern will make it easy for maintaining and development of the custom toast message class.

Syntax
