Toast Statment

I get it! But having an issue........

ToastTest.java 
String message = "All done!";
Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this,message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
String mMessage = "I Love Life";
Toast nextDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this,mMessage,Toast.LENGTH.LONG);
nextDoneToast + allDoneToast.show();

Hello Ben,

That code looks good, there is just one thing that is easy to overlook. Your use of the LENGTH_LONG constant in the second toast here:

Toast nextDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this,mMessage,Toast.LENGTH.LONG);

You used a period instead of an underscore. I make this kind of typo all the time.

I hope this helps,

Marcus

I'm sorry, I seemed to have confused myself as well. After tinkering a bit I came up with this in Android Studio that worked for the toasts.

   String message = "All done!";
   String mMessage = "I love life!";
    Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, message , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    Toast nextDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, mMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    nextDoneToast.show();
    allDoneToast.show();

What I think the problem might be is that you are trying to run this line here:

nextDoneToast + allDoneToast.show();

I couldn't seem to get it to run that way. Perhaps java doesn't recognize that. I don't know.

Also, you can reduce this to two lines:

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

Toast.makeText(this, "I love life!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

I hope that helps, sorry about my confusing myself and presenting an incomplete answer before.

Marcus
