Toast created in an IntentService never goes away

Question

I have an IntentService that downloads some files. The problem is that I create a Toast inside the IntentService like this

Toast.makeText(getApplicationCont         


        

Answer 1

IntentService will create a thread to handle the new intent, and terminated it immediately once the task has done. So, the Toast will be out of controlled by a dead thread.

You should see some exceptions in the console when the toast showing on the screen.
