Hi.  
My code for a toast is:

```auto
void showToast(final String message) { 
  act.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { 
    public void run() { 
      android.widget.Toast.makeText(act.getApplicationContext(), message, android.widget.Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
  }
  );
}

```

But how can I have another position other than the default on the bottem.  
Thanks
