[android] Can an Android Toast be longer than Toast.LENGTH_LONG?

Use Crouton, it is a very flexible Toast library.

Crouton

You can use it just like toasts:

Crouton.makeText(context, "YOUR_MESSAGE", Style.INFO);

or you can even go a little deeper and customise it more, like setting the time to infinite! for example here I want to show a toast message until the user acknowledges it by clicking on it.

private static void showMessage(final Activity context, MessageType type, String header, String message) {
    View v = context.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.toast_layout, null);
    TextView headerTv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toastHeader);
    headerTv.setText(header);
    TextView messageTv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toastMessage);
    messageTv.setText(message);
    ImageView toastIcon = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.toastIcon);

    final Crouton crouton = getCrouton(context, v);
    v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Crouton.hide(crouton);
        }
    });

    crouton.show();
}

private static Crouton getCrouton(final Activity context, View v) {
    Crouton crouton = Crouton.make(context, v);
    crouton.setConfiguration(new Configuration.Builder().setDuration(Configuration.DURATION_INFINITE).build());
    return crouton;
}

Custome Layout that will be inflated for the toast.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
    android:background="@drawable/shadow_container"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="@dimen/default_margin"
    tools:ignore="Overdraw">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/toastIcon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/default_spacing_full"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/toastHeader"
            style="@style/ItemText"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/toastMessage"
            style="@style/ItemSubText"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
