Change value of an already displayed Crouton

I was wondering if it is possible to change the text and the image of a crouton when it is already displayed. And how?

Solution

  • In the simple case you can't easily. However, I imagine if you provide a custom view and maintain a reference to it you could modify the view at will. Here are the custom view make methods:

    public static Crouton make(Activity activity, View customView);
public static Crouton make(Activity activity, View customView, ViewGroup viewGroup);
public static Crouton make(Activity activity, View customView, int viewGroupResId);
public static Crouton make(Activity activity, View customView, int viewGroupResId, final Configuration configuration);

    There are also corresponding show methods.

    You might also be able to do it with the default view using findViewById. From the source, the IDs of the image and text are:

    private static final int IMAGE_ID = 0x100;
private static final int TEXT_ID = 0x101;

    You'll just have to make sure you search the correct view (sub)hierarchy.
