How to display Toast in Android

Question

I have a slider that can be pulled up and then it shows a map  I can move the slider up and down to hide or show the map  When the map is on front  I can handle touch events on that map  Everytime I touch  a AsyncTask is fired up  it downloads some data and makes a Toast that displays the data  Although I start the task on touch event no toast is displayed  not till I close the slider  When the slider is closed and the map is not displayed anymore the Toast appears   Any ideas   Well start the task  EDIT   public boolean onTouchEvent MotionEvent event  MapView mapView        if  event getAction      1            new TestTask this  execute            return true                   else          return false             and in onPostExecute make a toast  Toast makeText app getBaseContext    String data result                   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show      In new TestTask this   this is a reference to MapOverlay and not to MapActivity  so this was the problem

I ran across the answers here  and was attracted by the fact that there seems to be someone poking around  believing that an Activity context is required   This is not the case   However  it is a requirement that a Toast is posted from the main event or UI Thread   So  getting this to work outside of an activity context is a little bit tricky   Here is an example that would work inside of a system service  or any potential class that ultimately inherits from Context   public class MyService extends AccessibilityService        public void postToastMessage final String message            Handler handler   new Handler Looper getMainLooper              handler post new Runnable                   Override             public void run                     Toast makeText getApplicationContext    message  Toast LENGTH LONG  show                                        Note that we do not need access to an instance of Activity for this to work   Please stop suggesting this is the case   If Activity were required  the method signature wouldn t call for a Context
