toast

I used the toast notifications for desktop app since Windows 8.1 but with the new action center in Windows 10, I am experiencing some unexpected behaviours. When the user do nothing with the toast, it simply disappear without going to the action center ( ToastNotification.Dismissed is ToastDismissalReason.TimedOut ). I don't know if it related to the fact that I use it in a win32 app but the same toast in a Windows Universal App goes to the action center when it timed out. One thing to note is that I have not registered an AppUserModelID for my win32 app like it was needed in W8.1, it seems to

I need to do a simple widget that presents a Toast when clicking on it. My problem is that I cant find how to get or create an "oncreate" action. i see the examples with the pending intent that opens the web browser. But how do i simply create this: Toast.makeText(context, "activated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); and make it happen every time a user clicks on the widget? just to be clear, I mean a widget on the launcher of the phone. not a regular "button" widget etc... public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider { NotificationManager mNotificationManager; Notification notification; @Override

I have an onClick event in my android app that triggers the following code but it keeps crashing my app. I put it in a thread only because i read that that's supposed to prevent crashing. Also ctx refers to the Activity's context (it's a variable I created in the activity set equal to this. I've read and tried several things. Any help would be awesome. Thanks! Thread toastThread = new Thread() { public void run() { Toast alertFailure = Toast.makeText(ctx, "Login Failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG); alertFailure.show(); } }; toastThread.start(); You need to use runOnUiThread Something like

Hey Everybody, I have an AsyncTask that posts some data to a server. It does this by calling a static method that I wrote from doInBackground. When I run the AsyncTask, I send the context of the activity that called execute(), which I send to my static method, because it needs it to make a Toast if something goes wrong while talking to the server. However, I get this error when a Toast is made in the static method: 04-21 12:49:16.689: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2123): FATAL EXCEPTION: AsyncTask #1 04-21 12:49:16.689: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2123): java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occured while

I'm new to Android development and I want it so when the user presses the back button on the main activity, a toast message appears with a "confirm exit by pressing the back button again" message. How would I do this? This is what I have so far: @Override public void onBackPressed() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onBackPressed(); Toast s = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Press back again to exit", Toast.LENGTH_LONG); s.show(); wait(); public boolean onBackPressed() { finish(); } } I would just save the time of the backpress and then compare the time of the latest press to the new

This is the way I have to show the Toast for 500 milliseconds. Though, it's showing more than a second. Toast.makeText(LiveChat.this, "Typing", 500).show(); How can I show Toast only for 500 milliseconds? This cannot be done. To show a toast for a length shorter than Toast.LENGTH_SHORT , you must cancel it after the time you want. Something like: final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "This message will disappear in half a second", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); toast.show(); Handler handler = new Handler(); handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { toast

I am displaying a toast message as the result of an if statement using the following code: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Please Enter Price", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); It is displayed as white text on a white background, as such it can not be read! My question is, how can I change the colour of the toast's text? Mandel You can create a custom Toast view to suit your requirements. See the section titled "Creating a Custom Toast View" at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html You can achieve this very easily, without creating a custom layout by modifying the

I have an Android app running a thread. I want a Toast message to show with a message. When I do this, I get the below exception: Logcat trace: FATAL EXCEPTION: Timer-0 java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() at android.os.Handler.<init>(Handler.java:121) at android.widget.Toast$TN.<init>(Toast.java:322) at android.widget.Toast.<init>(Toast.java:91) at android.widget.Toast.makeText(Toast.java:238) Is there a work around for pushing Toast messages from threads to the User Interface?
