My user hits a button and kicks off a process that takes 3 steps in about 10 seconds total. I'd like to pop up Toast messages "Step 1", "Step 2", "Step 3", "Finished!" as the process progresses. I'm using the standard Java Thread interface to run the process in a thread and I've found that trying to pop up Toast from the thread causes an FC. What is the best way to report this kind of progress - step by step messages?

I was trying to post a toast notification in case something goes wrong in a worker thread. I do this by putting a handler.post(funcFailed) in the catch block where funcFailed it a runnable and simply called a function funcFailedshow()
funcFailedshow() is defined to be Toast.makeText(App.this,"Error in funcfailed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
For some reason i cannot see the toast notification. Even if i replace App.this (app is the applications name) with a getApplicationContext() it does not work.
My application launches a thread to query the web for some data. I want to display a Toast message when nothing is found, but my application always crashes. I've tried using the application Context from within the thread, like so: Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "testttt", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); I've also tried creating a Runnable with the Toast call and calling runOnUiThread(runnable) from the Thread (the Toast call in this runnable uses the Activity as the first parameter). Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to cancel a Toast to show the next one. This is the description of the behavious I want, when I select one element in the menu i display a toast from the actuel menu element, but if i switch from one element to an other quickly i'm creating a list of Toast to display. So i need to cancel the previous one but i never succed. This is an extract of my code: public class MainActivity extends TabActivity
private Toast toast; private String toastMsg;
private void toast(){ if(toast!=null){ toast.cancel(); } toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, toastMsg,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show(); } }
When using setDuration for a Toast is it possible to set a custom length or at least something longer than Toast.LENGTH_LONG?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I implement a run() method of thread if I create a Thread Global?
I mean If I create a Thread Globally then can I implement its run() method {" public void run()"} anywhere in my Application?
In the run() method I have to write the code to perform some action.
IF I can do it then please can anyone show me briefly how to do it particularly.
I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.
The requirement is like this.
An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .
All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.
So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).
How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.
I have a separate thread running to get data from the internet. After that, I would like to update the ListView in the main thread by calling adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(). But it does not work. Any workaround for that?

I am developing a desktop widget.I would like to pop up a custom dialog when a remote view is clicked (much like the Facebook widget on Android when the user clicks in the update status field).I know how to use pending intents to launch an activity and have that currently hooked up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a service that runs in the background. I´d like to be able to show a message to the user when there is an incomming call. Atm i´m using a Toast, because as far as I know it is the only way to display something regardless of the current activity the user is running. But I have seen apps that can show entire views on top of others activities. How can this be done?
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe context menu is not popping up on the long click on the list items in the list view. I've extended the base adapter and used a view holder to implement the custom list with textviews and an imagebutton. adapter = new MyClickableListAdapter(this, R.layout.timeline, mObjectList);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
registerForContextMenu(list);
Implementation of onCreateContextMenu
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
Log.d(TAG, "Entering Context Menu");
menu.setHeaderTitle("Context Menu");
menu.add(Menu.NONE, DELETE_ID, Menu.NONE, "Delete")
.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
The XML for listview is here
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
I've been trying this for many days. I think its impossible to register Context-menu for a custom list view like this. Correct me if I am wrong (possibly with sample code).Now I am thinking of a adding a button to the list item and it displays a menu on clicking it. Is it possible with some other way than using Dialogs?
Is there anyway I can tell a Toast Notification to show up only for a specified amount of time. Generally shorter then a regular toast message.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a listview in my Android Application. Now, when the user presses Next Button other contents will be loaded into the listview. What I want is that if there are no more contents available then there should be a toast displayed indicating that there are no more data available.
Say, for example I have a total of 55 data available and I am displaying only 30 of them in one listview. So, when the user presses Next for the first time next 25 records will be visible. If the user again presses the Next button then a toast should be displayed on top of the last listview that had last 25 records.
Currently I get an error as IndexOutOfBoundException : Invalid location 15 size is 1.

Ok, I've tried two examples of AlarmManager- one from the commonsware website, and one from the manning website. The code I am currently working with is from the manning website : [http://unlocking-android.googlecode.com/svn/chapter8/trunk/SimpleAlarm/][1] There are two classes, AlarmReceiver and GenerateAlarm. Anyone have any idea why the toast will not display in the emulator? I was thinking that it was because I am located in the Eastern Time Zone and it uses UTC, but I have fiddled with different things and none of them seem to work.

I have an IntentService that handles button callbacks from a widget. When the user presses a certain button, I want to display a Toast. I return from onHandleIntent almost immediately after doing Toast.show(), which in turn stops the service and kills its thread, which keeps the Toast from actually being displayed.
Can anyone suggest an easy way to get the Toast (or something similar) to display from an IntentService?
