Toasts are not centered since Android 11

[antonis]

Expected behavior

Toasts across the app are centered unless this is defined explicitly.

Actual behavior

Since Android 11 the Toast gravity setter has no effect and the Toasts are positioned at the bottom of the screen. In some cases this may result in actionable buttons being inaccessible for the short time when the Toast is visible.

I did a short research and I don't think there is a clear way to resolve this. This article sums up the options to move forward with an Android Toast. An alternative would be to use a SnackBar and it will also achieve a more consistent UI across the app using the SnackbarSequencer
