is there a way to use Anko commons in the fragment?

Question

I am trying to call toast{..} function using Anko library. It is simple calling the toast{...} function in activity, but I can't find a way to call the function inside fragment.

so, is there a way to use Anko commons in the fragment ?

Answer 1

If you go through the documentation of Anko toast{..}, its implementation is:

/**
 * Display the simple Toast message with the [Toast.LENGTH_SHORT] duration.
 *
 * @param message the message text resource.
 */

inline fun Context.toast(message: Int): Toast = Toast
        .makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
        .apply {
            show()
        }

The toast{..} is an extension function for the Context class. Hence, it can be called from only that class which inherits from Context class.

So, to use toast{...} in your fragment you will have to use activity?.toast("YOUR_TOAST_MESSAGE_HERE").
