Can anyone please help me sorting out what is wrong here?

I just did how it was up on the video, the same way.

ToastTest.java 
Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

That could be perfect, but what is this inside? The first parameter is this, which is the context. If "this" isn't enough to get to the correct context, you may need more detail, such as the class name of the activity (MainActivity.class) or a different context. This happens a lot when the context you're in is an anonymous class, such as a Callback or an OnClickListener.

I also noticed that this is a treehouse test. Is the text you are supposed to toast exactly the same as they ask for in the question, capitalization and punctuation included?

Thanks for your answer. I have just figured it out and it's solved now. They want us do the static method first and then the one line code.
