Message Box:

This is one kind of broadcast receiver available in android.Toast class is used to create message box in android.Toasts are Dialog boxes that remain visible for only a few seconds. Toasts don’t steal focus and are non-modal, so they don’t interrupt the active application. Toasts are perfect for informing your users of events without forcing them to open an Activity or read a Notification. They provide an ideal mechanism for alerting users to events occurring in background Services without interrupting foreground applications.

Java Syntax:

Toast(Cntext,String,Integer);

Eg.

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, msg, duration);
toast.show();

Context must be current application context.
Msg must be string variable which you want to show.
Duration must be the integer which indicate the time in millisecond.

Eg.Show message dialog WELCOME on android screen.

Toast.makeText(this, “WELCOME”,1000).show();
