Answer 1

Create myToast method in your application class, Like

public void myToast(String msg) {
    Toast.makeText(this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

and add the following code to your class,

private MyApplication application;
public AgAppHelperMethods(Context context) {
  application = (MyApplication)context.getApplication();
}

Finally, call myToast method, where you want, like

applicaion.myToast("msg you want to show");

Note: replace MyApplication with your application class

I have not tested, but this may work for u.

Answer 2

You need to target your applicationContext in the toast,i can't see you doing that anywhere? And you have outcommented the first line of your toast message?

Edit: Also really really bad codestyle to catch exception e. You should try to narrow down which kind of exception it is that you want to catch.

Answer 3

Create a global variable like:

Context mContext;

Then add a constructor to your class, in which you accept a Context parameter and assign it to mContext like:

public AgAppHelperMethods(Context context) {
      mContext = context;
}

Create an object in your Activity like:

AgAppHelperMethods helper = new AgAppHelperMethods(getBaseContext());

Finally, to show your Toast use:

 Toast.makeText(mContext, "error  server not responding " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
