When an API call is successful or unsuccessful, it is appropriate to display a toast message to provide feedback to the user. However, the specific content and style of the toast will depend on the context and purpose of the API call. Here are some general guidelines:
For a successful API call:
- Use a positive tone in the message to indicate that the action was completed successfully.
- Keep the message brief and informative, indicating what action was taken and any relevant details.
- Use a green color or a checkmark icon to reinforce the positive outcome.
- Make the message disappear automatically after a few seconds so that it doesn’t obstruct the user’s view or interaction with the app.
For an unsuccessful API call:
- Use a neutral or negative tone in the message to indicate that the action was not completed successfully.
- Provide a clear and concise error message that explains what went wrong and how the user can fix it.
- Use a red color or a warning icon to draw attention to the problem.
- Consider providing an option for the user to retry the action or to navigate to a relevant screen to fix the problem.
In general, the toast message should be designed to provide useful feedback to the user and to help them understand the outcome of the API call. The style and content should be consistent with the overall design and tone of the app.
