Java Question Toast Message

[Johan Schoeman]

This compiles without a problem but when I call myToast from within the B4A project the toast message does not show. What am I missing?

import android.widget.Toast;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;
...
...
public class Toasting {

            public void myToast(final BA ba) {
            CharSequence text = "Hello toast!";
            int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(ba.context.getApplicationContext(), "Hello toast!", duration);
            toast.show();
...
...
...

i´m not sure about but somewhere in my brain there comes a question

I´m missing the creation of a new toastobject

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());

BUT as my knowledge about java is limited: don´t give too much attention on it. I may be totally wrong

I´m refering to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast,
                               (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root));

TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("This is a custom toast");

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();

I think Mr Notification (@barx ) can give a more professional answer!

This bit of code is working. Seems that the "no show" was related to where in the java method it was positioned. Moved it to a different position in the method and now it is working.

CharSequence text = "Hello toast!";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast.makeText(ba.context.getApplicationContext(), text, duration).show();
