    toast

    The NativeWindow object is only available to privileged code running on Firefox for Android, and is intended for use by Firefox for Android add-ons.

    NativeWindow.toast will be deprecated in Firefox 45.

    New code should use Snackbars.jsm to display notifications. To maintain backward compatibility NativeWindow.toast will still work, by delegating calls to Snackbars.jsm.

    Summary

    Returns a reference to the NativeWindow.toast object, which can be used to display toast notifications on Firefox for Android.

    A toast notification is a message that appears on the screen for a set interval and then fades away. It does not accept user input.

    You can display a toast using NativeWindow.toast.show(), supplying:

    • the message to display
    • a duration parameter that controls how long the toast should be displayed. This takes one of two values: short or long.

    Example

    In the example below, an add-on adds a menu item that displays a toast:

    function showToast(window) {  
  window.NativeWindow.toast.show("Showing you a toast", "short");  
}  
      
var menuID;  
      
function addMenuItem(window) {  
  menuID = window.NativeWindow.menu.add("Show Toast", null, function(){  
    showToast(window);   
  });  
}

    Methods
