How can I display Toast messages from a thread?

    One approach that works from pretty much anywhere, including from places where you don't have an Activity or View, is to grab a Handler to the main thread and show the toast:

    public void toast(final Context context, final String text) {
      Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
      handler.post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
          Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
      });
    }
    

    The advantage of this approach is that it works with any Context, including Service and Application.

    I made this approach based on mjaggard answer:

    public static void toastAnywhere(final String text) {
        Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
        handler.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                Toast.makeText(SuperApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext(), text, 
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
    

    Worked well for me.

    This is similar to other answers, however updated for new available apis and much cleaner. Also, does not assume you're in an Activity Context.

    public class MyService extends AnyContextSubclass {
    
        public void postToastMessage(final String message) {
            Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
    
            handler.post(new Runnable() {
    
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            });
        }
    }

    Sometimes, you have to send message from another Thread to UI thread. This type of scenario occurs when you can't execute Network/IO operations on UI thread.

    Below example handles that scenario.

    1. You have UI Thread
    2. You have to start IO operation and hence you can't run Runnable on UI thread. So post your Runnable to handler on HandlerThread
    3. Get the result from Runnable and send it back to UI thread and show a Toast message.

    Solution:

    1. Create a HandlerThread and start it
    2. Create a Handler with Looper from HandlerThread:requestHandler
    3. Create a Handler with Looper from Main Thread: responseHandler and override handleMessage method
    4. post a Runnable task on requestHandler
    5. Inside Runnable task, call sendMessage on responseHandler
    6. This sendMessage result invocation of handleMessage in responseHandler.
    7. Get attributes from the Message and process it, update UI

    Sample code:

        /* Handler thread */
    
        HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("HandlerThread");
        handlerThread.start();
        Handler requestHandler = new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper());
    
        final Handler responseHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()) {
            @Override
            public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                //txtView.setText((String) msg.obj);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                        "Runnable on HandlerThread is completed and got result:"+(String)msg.obj,
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .show();
            }
        };
    
        for ( int i=0; i<5; i++) {
            Runnable myRunnable = new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    try {
    
                        /* Add your business logic here and construct the 
                           Messgae which should be handled in UI thread. For 
                           example sake, just sending a simple Text here*/
    
                        String text = "" + (++rId);
                        Message msg = new Message();
    
                        msg.obj = text.toString();
                        responseHandler.sendMessage(msg);
                        System.out.println(text.toString());
    
                    } catch (Exception err) {
                        err.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            };
            requestHandler.post(myRunnable);
        }

    I like to have a method in my activity called showToast which I can call from anywhere...

    public void showToast(final String toast)
    {
        runOnUiThread(() -> Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, toast, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show());
    }
    

    I then most frequently call it from within MyActivity on any thread like this...

    showToast(getString(R.string.MyMessage));

    Kotlin Code with runOnUiThread

    runOnUiThread(
            object : Runnable {
                override fun run() {
                    Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Calling from runOnUiThread()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)  
                }
            }
    )
