Answer 1

In the onClick(View view) click listener within a RecyclerView.ViewHolder the context is retrieved with view.getContext(), as in:

```

public class MyHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements 
View.OnClickListener {

    public MyHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        //...
        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Toast.makeText(view.getContext(), "the message", 
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

```

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

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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 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 6

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:)
