How to make a toast timeout when another toast needs to be displayed?

I have 2 buttons and their onClick are connected to these methods a code similar to this: 

    /** Called when the user clicks button2 */
    public void button1Start(View view) {
        // Display a toast at bottom of screen
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Toast1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

/** Called when the user clicks button2 */
    public void button2Start(View view) {
        // Display different toast at bottom of screen
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Toast2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

Now, as expected when I click on these buttons, the toasts appear on bottom of screen one at a time after the previous one times-out.

What I need is this behavior: when I click button2 the "Toast2" view should immediately replace "Toast1" irrespective of the duration of "Toast1". Is there any way to achieve this? Can I make "toast1" to timeout or maybe make the toast1 view invisible?

Just use the same Toast object to show your text.

Maybe you should create a singleton to use in your entire application, but the shortest way is:

private Toast mToast;

private void showMessage(String message) {
    if (mToast == null) {
        mToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    } else {
        mToast.setText(message);
    }
    mToast.show();
}

No need to cancel. The previous text is immediately replaced, if any.

No that´s not possible!.

Have you tried with cancel() method?

Toast mytoast;
mytoast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hi Ho Jorgesys! ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
mytoast.show();
....
....
....
if(CancelToast){
  mytoast.cancel();
}

You can't make toast invisible, but you can make delay for it(but I think it's not a good practice)

final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Toast2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
}, 100);
