Is there any API call to show toast message using PicoVR SDK ?

Question

I tried showing toast message for user notification using a unity plugin SStools,

https://github.com/sseasycode/SSTools

But, it is showing in editor by not inside the 3D world space when the app runs in the Pico VR headset.

Answer 1

I solved by manually positioning the message prefab inside the world space. Showing/hiding by making gameobject active/inactive.

And edited the SSTools.cs script as below. (it is crude though, as it skips position and time for the hardcoded values).

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class SSTools : MonoBehaviour {

public enum Time
{
    threeSecond,
    twoSecond,
    oneSecond
};
public enum Position
{
    top,
    bottom
};

private static SSTools instance;

public static IEnumerator hide_messagePrefab(float secondsToWait, bool show = false){
    yield return new WaitForSeconds (secondsToWait);
    GameObject messagePrefab = GameObject.Find("Pvr_UnitySDK").transform.Find("Head").transform.Find("Message").gameObject;
    messagePrefab.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}

public static void ShowMessage ( string msg, SSTools.Position position, SSTools.Time time )
{
    //Load message prefab from resources folder
    //GameObject messagePrefab = Resources.Load ( "Message" ) as GameObject;
    GameObject messagePrefab = GameObject.Find("Pvr_UnitySDK").transform.Find("Head").transform.Find("Message").gameObject;
    //Get container object of message
    GameObject containerObject = messagePrefab.gameObject.transform.GetChild ( 0 ).gameObject;
    //Get text object
    GameObject textObject = containerObject.gameObject.transform.GetChild ( 0 ).GetChild ( 0 ).gameObject;
    //Get text property
    Text msg_text = textObject.GetComponent<Text> ( );
    //Set message to text ui
    msg_text.text = msg;
    //Set position of container object of message
    //SetPosition ( containerObject.GetComponent<RectTransform> ( ), position );
    //Spawn message object with all changes
    //GameObject clone = Instantiate ( messagePrefab );
    messagePrefab.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    // Destroy clone of message object according to the time
    //RemoveClone ( messagePrefab, time );
    if(!instance)
    {
        instance = FindObjectOfType<SSTools>();
        if(!instance)
        {
            instance = new GameObject ("SSTools").AddComponent<SSTools>();
        }
    }
    instance.StartCoroutine ( hide_messagePrefab(2.0f) );
}

private static void SetPosition ( RectTransform rectTransform, Position position )
{
    if (position == Position.top)
    {
        rectTransform.anchorMin = new Vector2 ( 0.5f, 1f );
        rectTransform.anchorMax = new Vector2 ( 0.5f, 1f );
        rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector3 ( 0.5f, -100f, 0 );
    }
    else
    {

        rectTransform.anchorMin = new Vector2 ( 0.5f, 0 );
        rectTransform.anchorMax = new Vector2 ( 0.5f, 0 );
        rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector3 ( 0.5f, 100f, 0 );     // old (0.5f, 100f, 0)
    }
}

private static void RemoveClone ( GameObject clone, Time time )
{
    if (time == Time.oneSecond)
    {
        Destroy ( clone.gameObject, 1f );
    }
    else if (time == Time.twoSecond)
    {
        Destroy ( clone.gameObject, 2f );
    }
    else
    {
        Destroy ( clone.gameObject, 3f );
    }
}
