What is the android.widget.Toast equivalent for iOS applications?

I've been writing for Android for a long time and I am missing Toast. I've implemented one. Need code? here you are:

ToastView.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>@interface ToastView : UIView@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *text;+ (void)showToastInParentView: (UIView *)parentView withText:(NSString *)text withDuaration:(float)duration;@end

ToastView.m

#import "ToastView.h"@interface ToastView ()@property (strong, nonatomic, readonly) UILabel *textLabel;@end@implementation ToastView@synthesize textLabel = _textLabel;float const ToastHeight = 50.0f;float const ToastGap = 10.0f;- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];    if (self) {        // Initialization code    }    return self;}-(UILabel *)textLabel{    if (!_textLabel) {        _textLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5.0, 5.0, self.frame.size.width - 10.0, self.frame.size.height - 10.0)];        _textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];        _textLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;        _textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];        _textLabel.numberOfLines = 2;        _textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:13.0];        _textLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByCharWrapping;        [self addSubview:_textLabel];    }    return _textLabel;}- (void)setText:(NSString *)text{    _text = text;    self.textLabel.text = text;}+ (void)showToastInParentView: (UIView *)parentView withText:(NSString *)text withDuaration:(float)duration;{    //Count toast views are already showing on parent. Made to show several toasts one above another    int toastsAlreadyInParent = 0;    for (UIView *subView in [parentView subviews]) {        if ([subView isKindOfClass:[ToastView class]])        {            toastsAlreadyInParent++;        }    }    CGRect parentFrame = parentView.frame;    float yOrigin = parentFrame.size.height - (70.0 + ToastHeight * toastsAlreadyInParent + ToastGap * toastsAlreadyInParent);    CGRect selfFrame = CGRectMake(parentFrame.origin.x + 20.0, yOrigin, parentFrame.size.width - 40.0, ToastHeight);    ToastView *toast = [[ToastView alloc] initWithFrame:selfFrame];    toast.backgroundColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];    toast.alpha = 0.0f;    toast.layer.cornerRadius = 4.0;    toast.text = text;    [parentView addSubview:toast];    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{        toast.alpha = 0.9f;        toast.textLabel.alpha = 0.9f;    }completion:^(BOOL finished) {        if(finished){        }    }];    [toast performSelector:@selector(hideSelf) withObject:nil afterDelay:duration];}- (void)hideSelf{    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{        self.alpha = 0.0;        self.textLabel.alpha = 0.0;    }completion:^(BOOL finished) {        if(finished){            [self removeFromSuperview];        }    }];}@end

Call from ViewController

 [ToastView showToastInParentView:self.view withText:@"What a toast!" withDuaration:5.0];

There is no class "out-of-the-box" in UIKit to do this. But it is quite easy to create a class that will offer this behavior.

You just have to create a class that inherit from UIView. This class will have the responsibility - to create what you want to display, - to add itself in parent view hierarchy - to dismiss itself using a timer.

You will be able to use it like :

[ToastView toastViewInView:myParentView withText:@"what a wonderful text"];
