What you learn: Showing Notifications, since m5 called 'Toasts' has changed a bit. This shows the new way of doing so.

Difficulty: 0.5 of 5

Questions/Problems: Simply post below...

What it will look like:

Image taken on old SDK:

Description: There are two ways of showing a Toast:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

// public static Toast makeText(Context context, CharSequence text, int duration) 
Toast.makeText(this, "Some text here...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 
// or from a String-ID (text "behind" may also be formatted!)
 
// public static Toast makeText(Context context, int resId, int duration) 
Toast.makeText(this,R.string.id_of_maybe_formatted_text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Parsed in 0.070 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

That's it

You can use show() to make the Toast visible

:

// public static Toast makeText(Context context, CharSequence text, int duration)
Toast.makeText(this, "Some text here...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Hello E.Jyothsna,

perhaps use a Thread with .sleep(X); or a Handler with postDelayed(Runnable,int).
