Answer 1

Just like Blackbelt said the syntax of Toast is as follows:

Toast.makeText(Activity.this, "Message",Toast.<specify Lenght>).show();

where Activity.this is the current activity, Message is the string you want to show and Toast.length is the length you want it to show it for.

Answer 2

In case of a Toast in a fragment inside a Tabbed Activity, use getContext() e.g.

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

Answer 3

First add

 import android.widget.Toast;

statement if you did not already and then

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

Answer 4

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).

Answer 5

Make sure that you type: Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, text, duration);

Not: Toast toast = new Toast.makeText(this, text, duration);

Answer 6

Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, text, duration).show();
