Answer 1

Was having similar issue too but

getContext()

did the trick for me

// If message field is empty show a toast and alert the user
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(message)) {
   Toast.makeText(getContext(),"Please Enter a message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   return;
}

I have faced similar problem in android studio, I resolve this issue by using getActivity() instead of this in the fragment

Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Your Text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Answer 3

Have you imported the toast widget?

import android.widget.Toast;

You can also call show() in the same line if you want to output it straight away:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration).show();

Hope that helps.

If you are trying to Toast your text in the MainActivity then do this:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your text", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 5

I have faced a similar problem but in my case i found out that Xamarin c# and Java in Android studio have differences when calling some functions(same functions).

When using Xamarin and c#, then makeText becomes MakeText and show becomes Show as shown below:

Toast toast = Toast.MakeText(this, "Text", ToastLength.Long);
toast.Show();

Hope this helps:)

Try Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getActivity(), text, duration);

You may also wish to append .show() if you want it to display
