Flutter toast background color not working

Flutter Toast Background Color Not Working

When working with Flutter Toast, you might face issues where setting the background color does not work as expected. Let’s understand why this happens and how to resolve it.

The Flutter Toast library provides a convenient way to display toast messages within your application. However, it does not natively support changing the background color of the toast message.

To overcome this limitation and customize the background color, we need to modify the underlying code of the Flutter Toast library. Below is an example of how you can achieve this:

import 'package:fluttertoast/fluttertoast.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class CustomToast {
  static void show(String message, BuildContext context) {
    Fluttertoast.showToast(
      msg: message,
      backgroundColor: Colors.red,  // Replace with your desired background color
      toastLength: Toast.LENGTH_SHORT,
      gravity: ToastGravity.BOTTOM,
      timeInSecForIosWeb: 1,
      textColor: Colors.white,
      fontSize: 16.0,
    );
  }
}

// Usage:
CustomToast.show("Hello, Flutter!", context);
  

In the above example, we create a custom wrapper class called `CustomToast` which encapsulates the Flutter Toast functionality. Inside the `show` method, we use the `Fluttertoast.showToast` method to display the toast message.

To change the background color, we simply pass the desired color to the `backgroundColor` property. In this case, we set it to `Colors.red`. You can replace it with any color you prefer.

Remember to import the necessary packages and ensure you have the latest version of the Flutter Toast library.

By using this custom wrapper class, you can easily display toast messages with a custom background color in your Flutter applications.
