Questions tagged [toast]

A toast notification is a transient message to the user that contains relevant, time-sensitive information and provides quick access to related content in an app.

A toast notification is a small informational popup window in a GUI, used to notify the user of an event or status change. The user cannot interact with a toast notification, which fades away after a short amount of time. The term was allegedly coined during the development of MSN Messenger because the notification windows slid up from the bottom of the screen, like toast popping up from a toaster.

Within stackoverflow, the tag most often refers to the Android class android.widget.Toast. For more information, see Creating Toast Notifications.
