It does not block the user interaction. Toast is a subclass of Object class. In this we use two constants for setting the duration for the Toast.

4. setText(CharSequence s): This method is used to set the text for the Toast. If we use makeText() method and then we want to change the text value for the Toast then we use this method.
Below we firstly create a new Toast using makeText() method and then set the text for the Toast.
5. setDuration(int duration): This method is used to set the duration for the Toast. If we use makeText() method and then we want to change the duration for the Toast then we use this method.
Below we firstly create a new Toast using makeText() method and then set the duration for the Toast.
6. inflate(int, ViewGroup):This method is used to inflate the layout from the xml. In this method first parameter is the layout resource ID and the second is the root View.
Below we retrieve the Layout Inflater and then inflate the layout from the xml file.
7. setView(View): This method is used to set the view for the Toast. In this method we pass the inflated layout which we inflate using inflate() method.
Below we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the layout and finally create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method.
Below we Firstly initiate the Toast and then display it using show() method.

Custom Toast in Android:
In Android, Sometimes simple Toast may not be satisfactory, and then we can go for customizing a Toast. For creating a custom layout, define a View layout, in XML and pass the root View object to the setView(View) method.
Steps for Implementation of Custom Toast In Android:
Step 1: Firstly Retrieve the Layout Inflater with getLayoutInflater() (or getSystemService()) and then inflate the layout from XML using inflate(int, ViewGroup). In inflate method first parameter is the layout resource ID and the second is the root View.
Step 2: Create a new Toast with Toast(Context) and set some properties of the Toast, such as the duration and gravity.
Step 3: Call setView(View) and pass the inflated layout in this method.
Step 4: Display the Toast on the screen using show() method of Toast.
In the below example we have shown the functioning of Toast and custom Toast both.
Toast And Custom Toast Example In Android Studio:
Toast Dvd 1 5 4
Below is the example of Toast and Custom Toast in Android. In this example we display two Button's one for Simple Toast and other for Custom Toast and perform click event on them. Whenever a user click on simple Toast Button a Toast with message 'Simple Toast In Android' displayed on the screen and when a user clicks on custom toast Button a message 'Custom Toast In Android' with a image displayed on the screen. For Creating a custom toast we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the custom toast layout from the xml file. After that we get the reference of TextView and ImageView from the inflated layout and set the text and image in the TextView and ImageView. Finally we create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method and then display the Toast by using show() method of Toast.
Below is the final output, download Android Studio code and step by step explanation of the example:
Step 1: Create a new project and name it ToastExample
Step 2: Open res -> layout ->activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code:
Step 3: Now create a xml layouts by right clicking on res/layout -> New -> Layout Resource File and name it custom_toast_layout.xml
Step 4: Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java
In this step we open MainActivity and add the code for initiate the Button's and perform click event on Button's. Whenever a user click on simple Toast Button a Toast with message 'Simple Toast In Android' displayed on the screen and when a user clicks on custom toast Button a message 'Custom Toast In Android' with a image displayed on the screen. For Creating a custom toast we firstly retrieve the layout inflater and then inflate the custom toast layout from the xml file. After that we get the reference of TextView and ImageView from the inflated layout and set the text and image in the TextView and ImageView. Finally we create a new Toast and pass the inflated layout in the setView() method and then display the Toast by using show() method of Toast.
