Show Toast if there is no Toast already showing

Question

I have several buttons that can be clicked on a fragment. After clicking each button I show a Toast message that is exactly the same for each button. Thus if you press 5 different buttons one after another you will layer up 5 toast messages which will end up showing the same message for a long time. What I want to do is show a Toast if there is no Toast currently running.

The method that I use to show the Toast message

public void showToastFromBackground(final String message) {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

When a button is pressed I simply call showToastFromBackground("Text to show");.

What I actually want is something like

public void showToastFromBackground(final String message) {
    if(toastIsNotAlreadyRunning)
    {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    });
    }       
}

Answer 1

Use:

toast.getView().isShown();

Or:

if (toast == null || toast.getView().getWindowVisibility() != View.VISIBLE) {
    // Show a new toast...
}

EDIT:

Toast lastToast = null; // Class member variable

public void showToastFromBackground(final String message) {
    if(isToastNotRunning()) {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                lastToast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                lastToast.show();
            }
        });
    }       
}

boolean isToastNotRunning() {
    return (lastToast == null || lastToast.getView().getWindowVisibility() != View.VISIBLE);
}
