Question

I have a broadcast receiver and I am trying to show a toast message from it, is this possible ? This code doesn\'t show the toast but it print the log message in the logcat.

Answer 1

Use this

Toast.makeText(context, "this is not shown",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 2

you forgot to call show() on the Toast.. although i would not recommend creating toasts from BroadcastReceivers.. you might consider using Notifications

Answer 3

Call the show() method for the Toast.
