Doesn't my code satisfy the Toast challenge?

It keeps saying I'm not chaining the 'show' method to the 'make text' method when I actually did. How do I pass this challenge......

ToastTest.java 
Toast allDoneToast;
allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All Done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
Toast.makeText(this, "Apps are cool", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Hi Benyam,

I think your code is fine, but it is expecting there to be a allDoneToast.show(); in there as well, to show the first toast too. When it says don't delete the first 2 lines, I think it is assuming you have declared and assigned the first toast all in one line, as below:

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All Done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
allDoneToast.show();
Toast.makeText(this, "Apps are cool", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This worked for me, but only with the show for the first toast as well :)
