Cannot resolve maketext() method of Toast

Question

I am getting cannot resolve ma

Answer 1

The makeText's signature is the following

public static Toast makeText (Context context, CharSequence text, int duration)

the first paramter has to be a context object. You put this, but this refers to this object and it can be something different from an Activity (a Fragment for instance).
