Hi Oscar,

That code looks fine, as long as name is a String. You shouldn't need the MainActivity bit as that's where you are running the Toast but that should make no difference.

So, can you show the rest of your code, please. It isn't the Toast that's not working - it is something else. If you can paste in all of your onCreate() method, the issue is likely to lie in there.

Thanks,

Steve.

Thanks steve for your answer, yes i added another line of code and with this line works great first declared a context class final Context context = getApplicationContext(); and the toast was defined like this: Toast.makeText(context, name , toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

i tested and every thing is working good!

Thanks for your time steve happy coding!!

That's odd but I'm glad you got it working.

You shouldn't need to type anything other than this` for the first parameter as the context is in that activity.

At least it's working!
