An Android library providing in-layout (activity-bound) notifications, similar to Toasts but scoped to the current activity context. It is based on Cyril Mottier's crouton concept and is distributed as an AAR on Maven Central.
Use cases
- show notifications bound to the current activity instead of system toasts
- display in-layout alert messages that slide with the screen
- avoid toasts persisting over other apps after task switching
- show styled feedback messages inside an Android layout
- replace Toast notifications with context-aware croutons
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app (API 4+) using Eclipse/ant-era tooling and want Toast-like in-layout notifications
- you need activity-scoped notifications that don't leak across apps
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use Material Design Snackbar from the Android Support/AndroidX library instead
- you need actively maintained or modern Gradle/AndroidX-compatible components
