Android toast has strange shape

Question

When using toast messages in my app it appears in a wrong shape. The code I am using is:

Toast.makeText(context, context.getResources().getString(R.string.changeLanguageConf), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Do you know what could be the root cause? context is an argument passed as getContext() from a different procedure.

Answer 1

It was due to the theme used. More specific it was due to:

<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>

Thanks for the help

Answer 2

Instead of using getContext(), try using getApplicationContext(). I would also try to get the context just before creating and showing the toast, as the following.

Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast.makeText(context, context.getResources().getString(R.string.changeLanguageConf), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
