.TOAST is a Disk Image Files extension of a Binary format created by Roxio. You can work with.TOAST files on Mac. How to make a.TOAST file? To make.TOAST files, you have to use Roxio Popcorn or any other program listed below. In android, Toast is a small popup notification that is used to display an information about the operation which we performed in our app. The Toast will show the message for a small period of time and it will disappear automatically after a timeout. The.toast file is a disc image file the same as an.iso file. In the Finder I have changed the.toast to.iso when I needed to use another application that recognized.iso files. To burn a.toast or.iso file to DVD you select it using the Image File setting in the Copy window and click the burn button. Toast is a single asset open source wallet. It supports only Ripple (XRP), doesn't work with any online exchanges and is free to obtain. What is more, you can run it using Windows, Linux and Mac OS. For the users using mobile devices mainly, Toast is compatible with iOS and Android.
-->Adaptive and interactive toast notifications let you create flexible notifications with text, images, and buttons/inputs.
Important APIs: UWP Community Toolkit Notifications nuget package
Note
To see the legacy templates from Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, see the legacy toast template catalog.
Getting started
Install Notifications library. If you'd like to use C# instead of XML to generate notifications, install the NuGet package named Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications (search for 'notifications uwp'). The C# samples provided in this article use version 1.0.0 of the NuGet package.
Install Notifications Visualizer. This free Windows app helps you design interactive toast notifications by providing an instant visual preview of your toast as you edit it, similar to Visual Studio's XAML editor/design view. See Notifications Visualizer for more information, or download Notifications Visualizer from the Store.
Sending a toast notification
To learn how to send a notification, see Send local toast. This documentation only covers creating the toast content.
Toast notification structure
Toast notifications are a combination of some data properties like Tag/Group (which let you identify the notification) and the toast content.
The core components of toast content are..
- launch: This defines what arguments will be passed back to your app when the user clicks your toast, allowing you to deep link into the correct content that the toast was displaying. To learn more, see Send local toast.
- visual: The visual portion of the toast, including the generic binding that contains text and images.
- actions: The interactive portion of the toast, including inputs and actions.
- audio: Controls the audio played when the toast is shown to the user.
The toast content is defined in raw XML, but you can use our NuGet library to get a C# (or C++) object model for constructing the toast content. This article documents everything that goes within the toast content.
Here is a visual representation of the toast's content:
Visual
Each toast must specify a visual, where you must provide a generic toast binding, which can contain text, images, and more. These elements will be rendered on various Windows devices, including desktop, phones, tablets, and Xbox.
For all attributes supported in the visual section and its child elements, see the schema documentation.
Your app's identity on the toast notification is conveyed via your app icon. However, if you use the app logo override, we will display your app name beneath your lines of text.
| App identity for normal toast | App identity with appLogoOverride |
|---|
Text elements
Each toast must have at least one text element, and can contain two additional text elements, all of type AdaptiveText.
Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, you can control how many lines of text are displayed by using the HintMaxLines property on the text. The default (and maximum) is up to 2 lines of text for the title, and up to 4 lines (combined) for the two additional description elements (the second and third AdaptiveText).
App logo override
By default, your toast will display your app's logo. However, you can override this logo with your own ToastGenericAppLogo image. For example, if this is a notification from a person, we recommend overriding the app logo with a picture of that person.
You can use the HintCrop property to change the cropping of the image. For example, Circle results in a circle-cropped image. Otherwise, the image is square. Image dimensions are 48x48 pixels at 100% scaling.
Hero image
New in Anniversary Update: Toasts can display a hero image, which is a featured ToastGenericHeroImage displayed prominently within the toast banner and while inside Action Center. Image dimensions are 364x180 pixels at 100% scaling.
Inline image
You can provide a full-width inline-image that appears when you expand the toast.
Image size restrictions
The images you use in your toast notification can be sourced from..
- http://
- ms-appx:///
- ms-appdata:///
For http and https remote web images, there are limits on the file size of each individual image. In the Fall Creators Update (16299), we increased the limit to be 3 MB on normal connections and 1 MB on metered connections. Before that, images were always limited to 200 KB.
| Normal connection | Metered connection | Before Fall Creators Update |
|---|---|---|
| 3 MB | 1 MB | 200 KB |
If an image exceeds the file size, or fails to download, or times out, the image will be dropped and the rest of the notification will be displayed.
Attribution text
New in Anniversary Update: If you need to reference the source of your content, you can use attribution text. This text is always displayed at the bottom of your notification, along with your app's identity or the notification's timestamp.
On older versions of Windows that don't support attribution text, the text will simply be displayed as another text element (assuming you don't already have the maximum of three text elements).
Custom timestamp
New in Creators Update: You can now override the system-provided timestamp with your own timestamp that accurately represents when the message/information/content was generated. This timestamp is visible within Action Center.
To learn more about using a custom timestamp, please see custom timestamps on toasts.
Progress bar
New in Creators Update: You can provide a progress bar on your toast notification to keep the user informed of the progress of operations such as downloads.
To learn more about using a progress bar, please see Toast progress bar.
Headers
New in Creators Update: You can group notifications under headers within Action Center. For example, you can group messages from a group chat under a header, or group notifications of a common theme under a header, or more.
To learn more about using headers, please see Toast headers.
Adaptive content
New in Anniversary Update: In addition to the content specified above, you can also display additional adaptive content that is visible when the toast is expanded.
This additional content is specified using Adaptive, which you can learn more about by reading the Adaptive Tiles documentation.
Note that any adaptive content must be contained within an AdaptiveGroup. Otherwise it will not be rendered using adaptive.
Columns and text elements
Here's an example where columns and some advanced adaptive text elements are used. Since the text elements are within an AdaptiveGroup, they support all the rich adaptive styling properties.
Buttons
Buttons make your toast interactive, letting the user take quick actions on your toast notification without interrupting their current workflow. For example, users can reply to a message directly from within a toast, or delete an email without even opening the email app. Buttons appear in the expanded portion of your notification.
To learn more about implementing buttons end-to-end, see Send local toast.
Buttons can perform the following different actions..
- Activating the app in the foreground, with an argument that can be used to navigate to a specific page/context.
- Activating the app's background task, for a quick-reply or similar scenario.
- Activating another app via protocol launch.
- Performing a system action, such as snoozing or dismissing the notification.
Note
You can only have up to 5 buttons (including context menu items which we discuss later).
Buttons with icons
You can add icons to your buttons. These icons are white transparent 16x16 pixel images at 100% scaling, and should have no padding included in the image itself. If you choose to provide icons on a toast notification, you must provide icons for ALL of your buttons in the notification, as it transforms the style of your buttons into icon buttons.
Note
For accessibility, be sure to include a contrast-white version of the icon (a black icon for white backgrounds), so that when the user turns on High Contrast White mode, your icon is visible. Learn more on the toast accessiblity page.
Buttons with pending update activation
New in Fall Creators Update: On background activation buttons, you can use an after activation behavior of PendingUpdate to create multi-step interactions in your toast notifications. When the user clicks your button, your background task is activated, and the toast gets placed in a 'pending update' state, where it stays on screen till your background task replaces the toast with a new toast.
To learn how to implement this, see Toast pending update.
Context menu actions
New in Anniversary Update: You can add additional context menu actions to the existing context menu that appears when the user right clicks your toast from within Action Center. Note that this menu only appears when right clicked from Action Center. It does not appear when right clicking a toast popup banner.
Note Rtsp link for ip camera.
On older devices, these additional context menu actions will simply appear as normal buttons on your toast.
The additional context menu actions you add (such as 'Change location') appear above the two default system entries.
The builder syntax doesn't support context menu actions, so we recommend using initializer syntax.
Note
Additional context menu items contribute to the total limit of 5 buttons on a toast.
Activation of additional context menu items is handled identical to toast buttons.
Inputs
Inputs are specified within the Actions region of the toast region of the toast, meaning they are only visible when the toast is expanded.
Quick reply text box
To enable a quick reply text box (for example, in a messaging app) add a text input and a button, and reference the ID of the text input field so that the button is displayed next to to the input field. The icon for the button should be a 32x32 pixel image with no padding, white pixels set to transparent, and 100% scale.
Inputs with buttons bar
You also can have one (or many) inputs with normal buttons displayed below the inputs.
Selection input
In addition to text boxes, you can also use a selection menu.
Snooze/dismiss
Using a selection menu and two buttons, we can create a reminder notification that utilizes the system snooze and dismiss actions. Make sure to set the scenario to Reminder for the notification to behave like a reminder.
We link the Snooze button to the selection menu input using the SelectionBoxId property on the toast button.
To use the system snooze and dismiss actions:
- Specify a ToastButtonSnooze or ToastButtonDismiss
- Optionally specify a custom content string:
- If you don't provide a string, we'll automatically use localized strings for 'Snooze' and 'Dismiss'.
- Optionally specify the SelectionBoxId:
- If you don't want the user to select a snooze interval and instead just want your notification to snooze only once for a system-defined time interval (that is consistent across the OS), then don't construct any at all.
- If you want to provide snooze interval selections:
- Specify SelectionBoxId in the snooze action
- Match the id of the input with the SelectionBoxId of the snooze action
- Specify ToastSelectionBoxItem's value to be a nonNegativeInteger which represents snooze interval in minutes.
Audio
Custom audio has always been supported by Mobile, and is supported in Desktop Version 1511 (build 10586) or newer. Custom audio can be referenced via the following paths:
- ms-appx:///
- ms-appdata:///
Alternatively, you can pick from the list of ms-winsoundevents, which have always been supported on both platforms.
See the audio schema page for information on audio in toast notifications. To learn how to send a toast using custom audio, see custom audio on toasts.
Alarms, reminders, and incoming calls
To create alarms, reminders, and incoming call notifications, you simply use a normal toast notification with a scenario value assigned to it. The scenario adusts a few behaviors to create a consistent and unified user experience.
Important
When using Reminder or Alarm, you must provide at least one button on your toast notification. Otherwise, the toast will be treated as a normal toast.
- Reminder: The notification will stay on screen until the user dismisses it or takes action. On Windows Mobile, the toast will also show pre-expanded. A reminder sound will be played.
- Alarm: In addition to the reminder behaviors, alarms will additionally loop audio with a default alarm sound.
- IncomingCall: Incoming call notifications are displayed full screen on Windows Mobile devices. Otherwise, they have the same behaviors as alarms except they use ringtone audio and their buttons are styled differently.
Localization and accessibility
Your tiles and toasts can load strings and images tailored for display language, display scale factor, high contrast, and other runtime contexts. For more info, see Tile and toast notification support for language, scale, and high contrast.

In Android, Toast is used to display information for a period of time. It contains a message to be displayed quickly and disappears after specified period of time. It does not block the user interaction. Toast is a subclass of Object class. In this we use two constants for setting the duration for the Toast. Toast notification in android always appears near the bottom of the screen. We can also create our custom toast by using custom layout(xml file).
Special Note: In Android, Toast is used when we required to notify user about an operation without expecting any user input. It displays a small popup for message and automatically fades out after timeout.

Important Methods Of Toast:
Let's we discuss some important methods of Toast that may be called in order to manage the Toast.
1. makeText(Context context, CharSequence text, int duration): This method is used to initiate the Toast. This method take three parameters First is for the application Context, Second is text message and last one is duration for the Toast.
Constants of Toast: Below is the constants of Toast that are used for setting the duration for the Toast.
1. LENGTH_LONG: It is used to display the Toast for a long period of time. When we set this duration the Toast will be displayed for a long duration.
1. makeText(Context context, CharSequence text, int duration): This method is used to initiate the Toast. This method take three parameters First is for the application Context, Second is text message and last one is duration for the Toast.
Constants of Toast: Below is the constants of Toast that are used for setting the duration for the Toast.
1. LENGTH_LONG: It is used to display the Toast for a long period of time. When we set this duration the Toast will be displayed for a long duration.
2. LENGTH_SHORT: It is used to display the Toast for short period of time. When we set this duration the Toast will be displayed for short duration.
Below we show the use of makeText() method of Toast in which we set application context, a text message and duration for the Toast.
2. show(): This method is used to display the Toast on the screen. This method is display the text which we create using makeText() method of Toast.
Below we Firstly initiate the Toast and then display it using show() method.
3. setGravity(int,int,int): This method is used to set the gravity for the Toast. This method accepts three parameters: a Gravity constant, an x-position offset, and a y-position offset.
Below we Firstly initiate the Toast, set top and left gravity and then display it using show() method.
4. setText(CharSequence s): This method is used to set the text for the Toast. If we use makeText() method and then we want to change the text value for the Toast then we use this method.
Below we firstly create a new Toast using makeText() method and then set the text for the Toast.
5. setDuration(int duration): This method is used to set the duration for the Toast. If we use makeText() method and then we want to change the duration for the Toast then we use this method.
Below we firstly create a new Toast using makeText() method and then set the duration for the Toast.
6. inflate(int, ViewGroup):This method is used to inflate the layout from the xml. In this method first parameter is the layout resource ID and the second is the root View.
Below we retrieve the Layout Inflater and then inflate the layout from the xml file.
7. setView(View): This method is used to set the view for the Toast. In this method we pass the inflated layout which we inflate using inflate() method.
Below we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the layout and finally create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method.
Custom Toast in Android:
Burn Toast File Windows
In Android, Sometimes simple Toast may not be satisfactory, and then we can go for customizing a Toast. For creating a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML and pass the root View object to the setView(View) method.
Steps for Implementation of Custom Toast In Android:
What Is Toast Application
Step 1: Firstly Retrieve the Layout Inflater with getLayoutInflater() (or getSystemService()) and then inflate the layout from XML using inflate(int, ViewGroup). In inflate method first parameter is the layout resource ID and the second is the root View.
Step 2: Create a new Toast with Toast(Context) and set some properties of the Toast, such as the duration and gravity.
Step 3: Call setView(View) and pass the inflated layout in this method.
Step 4: Display the Toast on the screen using show() method of Toast.
In the below example we have shown the functioning of Toast and custom Toast both.
Toast And Custom Toast Example In Android Studio:
Below is the example of Toast and Custom Toast in Android. In this example we display two Button's one for Simple Toast and other for Custom Toast and perform click event on them. Whenever a user click on simple Toast Button a Toast with message 'Simple Toast In Android' displayed on the screen and when a user clicks on custom toast Button a message 'Custom Toast In Android' with a image displayed on the screen. For Creating a custom toast we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the custom toast layout from the xml file. After that we get the reference of TextView and ImageView from the inflated layout and set the text and image in the TextView and ImageView. Finally we create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method and then display the Toast by using show() method of Toast.
Below is the final output, download Android Studio code and step by step explanation of the example: Free online 3d architecture design program.
Step 1: Create a new project and name it ToastExample
Toaster Slang
Step 2: Open res -> layout ->activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code:
Step 3: Now create a xml layouts by right clicking on res/layout -> New -> Layout Resource File and name it custom_toast_layout.xml
Step 4: Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java
In this step we open MainActivity and add the code for initiate the Button's and perform click event on Button's. Whenever a user click on simple Toast Button a Toast with message 'Simple Toast In Android' displayed on the screen and when a user clicks on custom toast Button a message 'Custom Toast In Android' with a image displayed on the screen. For Creating a custom toast we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the custom toast layout from the xml file. After that we get the reference of TextView and ImageView from the inflated layout and set the text and image in the TextView and ImageView. Finally we create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method and then display the Toast by using show() method of Toast.
