Android Question how to change native toast background color?

[AscySoft]

I know there are some classes or libraries that implement a custom toast message.
I just want to know if today (2018) is possible to alter the background color of a classic toast message?
For example see this: http://code2care.org/2015/change-android-toast-background-color/
How to implement this in B4A please?
Thank you!

no.

You can use one of the Libraries available to show custom ones.
Or you create a small wrapper for th code you posted.

You also can use a Elevated Panel to show your own implementation...

You can customize it with CSBuilder: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/charsequence-csbuilder-tutorial.76226/

You can customize it with CSBuilder

Dim cs As CSBuilder
ToastMessageShow(cs.Initialize.Size(20).Color(Colors.Black).Append("Pick a client.").BackgroundColor(Colors.White).PopAll, True)

On some devices background color is white, on others (Android 6+) is gray/black - this mean that BackgroundColor(Colors.White) does not do it's job
TO @DonManfred I am not so good as others to java, even if it is a small wrapper.

cs.BackgroundColor only changes the text background. The code you posted will not do anything as there is no text between BackgroundColor and PopAll.

Indeed. But even if it were, the background color of a toast (not af a text) will be whatever OS choose it to be. Is there a "hack" for it? Reflection perhaps?
