using a string resource in a Toast

Question

My code is:

public static void ToastMemoryShort (Context context) {
    CharSequence text = getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort); //error here
    Toast.mak         


        

Answer 1

You could make your toast more generic like this:

public void toast(String msg){
    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    CharSequence text = msg;
    int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;

    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
    toast.show();
}

Then just call when you need like this:

toast( "My message hardcoded" );

or by referring to strings.xml like this:

toast( this.getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort) );

Answer 2

Use the below code to get the desired output:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),getString(R.string.exit_survey_toast),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

replace exit_survey_toast with your string value.

Answer 3

You should change

CharSequence text = getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort); //error here

for:

CharSequence text = context.getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort);

The getString function is implemented in Context#getString(int)

Answer 4

Just use this instead:

makeText(Context context, int resId, int duration) Make a standard toast that just contains a text view with the text from a resource.

Answer 5

Change to

 public static void ToastMemoryShort (Context context) {

        Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return;
        }
