Description

Sadly on Android R, you can't set a custom View for a Toast (when targeting API 31) :

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast#setView(android.view.View) https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast#getView()

Please offer something that mimics the standard Toast's look&feel, so that at least we could have it shown within the app, as a normal View. Maybe something similar to what we have when we long press the action items on the toolbar:

Custom Toasts are useful anyway usually only when the user is inside the app...

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Android R restrictions on Toast.setView() and design a custom View that replicates the standard Toast appearance. Consider using a popup window or a custom snackbar like component.
