How do I make a toast from a non activity class?

How can I create and show a Toast message from a class which does not extended the Activity class? I'm using this class in another class that is extended by Activity.

Answer 1

You need a context Reference. Just have a helper method like

  public static void showToastMethod(Context context) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "mymessage ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }

Answer 2

You can pass context of that activity to your class by passing value to nonActivity class

example:

new NonActivityClass(Activityclass.this) ;

and as in above answer

new MyClass(ActivityClass.this);

In NonActivityClass

public class NonActivityClass {

  public NonActivityClass (Context context) {

        Toast.makeText(context, "mymessage ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }

}

Hope this works for you...
