Displaying toast in AI2.

[Tech Mate]

Is there any option for displaying toast message in AI2?

What is a toast message??
Cheers, Ghica.

For example sometime when you are in an app and when you press back button then a message is popped up at the bottom of the screen "press again to exist". That message is called toast message.

a toast message is called notifier in App Inventor

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the

 Top 5 Tips: How to learn  App Inventor

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.

yep, use notifier block (add to your project) then select the 'Call Notifier. Show Alert block - you put whatever message you want to convey in the 'notice' section and the 'toast' automatically disappears after a few seconds on screen.
