What does toast message mean?
A toast provides simple feedback about an operation in a small popup. It only fills the amount of space required for the message and the current activity remains visible and interactive. Toasts automatically disappear after a timeout.
What is the difference between toast and alert?
A toast is a small display on the bottom of the screen. A notification is displayed in the top menu bar.
What are toast notifications used for?
Toast messages help to deliver simple feedback to the user. They most often follow an action performed by a user and provide information regarding the success or failure of that action. Toast messages are informative, have a lifespan of just a few seconds and take up a very small portion of the screen.
What is the difference between toast and snackbar?
Snackbars contain a single line of text directly related to the operation performed. They may contain a text action, but no icons. Toasts (Android only) are primarily used for system messaging. They also display at the bottom of the screen, but may not be swiped off-screen.
