Is it possible to show a message, in a platform independent way, like what in Android would be a Toast? If not, what would a good way to create similar functionality?
The closest thing in Gluon Mobile to the Android Toast control is the SnackbarPopupView. The easiest way to do this, is to use the snackbar popup view that is built in into MobileApplication
:
MobileApplication.getInstance().showMessage("Hi There!");
We are planning to add Toast functionality as well in a future release.
