Toast takes 'this' as context if onClickListener is a lambda. What's up with that?

I just wrote onClickListener with a lambda and compile error didn't appear

==== works OK ==== startButton.setOnClickListener((l) -> { String name = nameField.getText().toString(); Toast.makeText(this, name, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); });
