Crouton is an Android library providing context-sensitive, styleable in-app notifications as an alternative to the standard Toast API. It allows developers to display queued notification bars at arbitrary positions in an Activity or ViewGroup.

Use cases

  • show in-app notifications on android
  • alternative to android toast
  • display styled alert bars in an activity
  • queue multiple notifications in android app
  • attach notification to a viewgroup

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Android app already using Crouton
  • targeting very old Android versions where the Design Support Library is unavailable

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project - use Snackbar from the Android Design Support Library instead
  • needing actively maintained notification UI
