Problems with Infinite Crouton in Android only appears once

Question

I show the crouton using the following code. At first run of the application the Crouton appears. But if I hit back button and reopen the application from launcher or recent list Crouton doesn't appear.

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity{

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}


@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Style infinite = new Style.Builder().setBackgroundColorValue(
            Style.holoBlueLight).build();

    Configuration configuration = new Configuration.Builder().setDuration(
            Configuration.DURATION_INFINITE).build();

    Crouton crouton = Crouton.makeText(this, "Hello world", infinite);
    crouton.setConfiguration(configuration);
    crouton.show();
} 

}

Showing the crouton either in the onCreate or in onResume doesn't seem to have any effect.

Answer 1

I was able to get it to work as intended by holding a reference to the displayed crouton and in onPause canceling the crouton.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private Crouton mCrouton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        Style infinite = new Style.Builder().setBackgroundColorValue(
                Style.holoBlueLight).build();


        Configuration configuration = new Configuration.Builder().setDuration(
                Configuration.DURATION_INFINITE).build();

        mCrouton = Crouton.makeText(this, "Hello world", infinite);
        mCrouton.setConfiguration(configuration);
        mCrouton.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mCrouton.cancel();
    }
}

Also there are other ways using which this issue can be solved.

• Crouton.clearCroutonsForActivity(this);
• Crouton.cancelAllCroutons();

Use what suits your needs.
