title: How to make custom toast message to take the whole screen
body: <p>I created layout for my custom toast message, and I set fill_parent to the root element of my custom layout but the size of the layout is still a lot smaller than the whole screen.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to set the size of the toast message to take the whole screen ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:id="@+id/toast_layout_root"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="center" &gt;
      &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_margin="10dip"/&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note the android:layout_width="fill_parent" and android:layout_height="fill_parent" properties. But still my layout is around one third of the screen . . .</p>
  
  <p>any ideas or suggestions how can I make the toast to take the whole screen ?</p>
