[android-developers] Re: Key should not be taken by activity till Toast is shown

I agree with Treking and recommend using a dialog.  You can build one with your own layout and make it similar to a toast without any buttons.  Then setup a handler and a runnable to make it disappear 

after a length of time.  You can also use the runnable to activate keystrokes to the activity once the dialog is gone.

Hope this helps,
George

Hi All,

I trigger a toast message when a wrong number is entered by user in Edit Text box.
The toast duration is Toast.LENGTH_LONG.

My requirement is till the Toast is shown to the user, no Keys should be accepted by Edit Text.

For this, I am trying the below thing.
I am starting a thread and in the run() of Thread, I am calling sleep(Toast.LENGTH_LONG).

In the onKeyUp() of the activity, I am checking whether Thread is alive.

All the time thread state is returned as TERMINATED and isAlive() is returned as false.

I want a way for the activity not to take any keys till my toast is alive.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Revathi
