Using hard coded text worked fine but I had this error when I use a string from the values' resource folder, if this is your case try this:

1- Right click on the hardcoded text and extract a string resource anyway

2- undo the string resource extraction using CTRL+Z

3- redo the string resource extraction using CTRL+y

This worked for this case and the error disapeared.

assuming you are creating toast in fragment ....so use getactivity in context

assuming you are creating toast in fragment ....so use getactivity in context

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

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.

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();

Instead of

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, text, duration);

Add your activity name before "this" word

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, text, duration);

First add

 import android.widget.Toast;

statement if you did not already and then

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

Was having similar issue too but

getContext()

did the trick for me

// If message field is empty show a toast and alert the user
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(message)) {
   Toast.makeText(getContext(),"Please Enter a message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   return;
}

Grab the context from the calling activity (eg. this or MainActivity.this) and pass it into the method your Toast resides in. That way it lives together with the calling activity.

Application context, which you get from getApplicationContext() and getContext() is mainly for long running processes. Using it for short lived processes can lead to memory leaks.

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();

This might be helpful if you are trying to use Toast in Fragment:

Toast.makeText(Your_Fragment_Name.super.getContext(), "Added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

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();
    }

```

If you are trying to Toast your text in the MainActivity then do this:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your text", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

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:)

this in your case might not be the object of the activity. You might be using the Toast.makeText method inside you Click Listener object. To resolve this you need to use getApplicationContext() :

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext() , "Your Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

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

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

Try Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getActivity(), text, duration);

You may also wish to append .show() if you want it to display

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).

Have you imported the toast widget?

import android.widget.Toast;

You can also call show() in the same line if you want to output it straight away:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration).show();

Hope that helps.
