Use Toast inside Fragment

Question

I'm trying to show a Toast Message when user click on a Button inside a Fragment. The problem is I cannot access the activity to show the Toast on it.

Here's the source of Fragment:

    public class FrgTimes extends Fragment
    {
        ScrollView sv;
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        {
            if (container == null) { return null; }

            sv = (ScrollView)inflater.inflate(R.layout.frg_times, container, false);

            btnTime1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

            //******  HERE's the PROBLEM  ********
            Toast.makeText(<The Activity>, "Please long press the key", Toast.LENGTH_LONG );

            }});

            return sv;
        }

and Here's what I've been tried.

Toast.makeText( getActivity()  , ...
Toast.makeText( getView().getContext()  , ...
Toast.makeText( getActivity().getApplicationContext()  , ...
Toast.makeText( sv.getContext()  , ...
Toast.makeText( sv.getRootView().getContext()  , ...

In Debug I can see that all of these codes run without any exception but no TOAST being displayed.

Which one of your multiple tries is more appropriate? `getActivity()` or `getView.getContext()` or ... Thanks. — Alston, May 31 '19 at 12:40

You are not calling show() on the Toast you are creating with makeText().

That's my standard error - good news is that Lint detects this error as of SDK20. – Richard Le Mesurier Oct 09 '12 at 13:23

Oooops! it is too easy to do such a mistake! – IWIH Dec 04 '15 at 11:07
I've used the correct syntax but toast didn't show up in mobile device. I've tried in emulator, it worked. – Prabs Jul 30 '19 at 09:51

As stated by alfo888_ibg:

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
   Toast.makeText(activity,"Text!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Just do:

    Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Text!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

this worked for me.

I am using the toast inside the onCreateView of the Fragment's java file. Toast is being called two times.Why? ```Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Entered onCreateView", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();``` i have also used the getActivity() in place of getContext()... same issue – NullByte08 Nov 23 '19 at 07:27

To help another people with my same problem, the complete answer to Use Toast inside Fragment is:

Activity activity = getActivity();

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {

    Toast.makeText(activity,"Text!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

When making a toast in fragment do as following:

Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

When class is extending fragment it is necessary to use getActivity() since fragment is a subclass of activity.

Fragment is a subclass of Object, check http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html, if it was subclass of activity you could use 'this' instead – chairam Nov 28 '15 at 01:24

You can get the current activity with getActivity()

Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Toast your message" ,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Making a Toast inside Fragment

 Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Your Text Here!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

OR

    Activity activityObj = this.getActivity();

    Toast.makeText(activityObj, "Your Text Here!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

OR

Toast.makeText(this, "Your Text Here!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

If you are using kotlin then the context will be already defined in the fragment. So just use that context. Try the following code to show a toast message.

Toast.makeText(context , "your_text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

When calling Toast inside android fragment:

1. Activity mActivity=this.getActivity();  

2. Toast.makeText(mActivity,"Text you want to display",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

This works for me.

as we can see the user did not call the `show()` method after the `Toast`'s closing. simple you can comment this. – Devendra Singh May 24 '16 at 06:18

user2564789 said it right
But you can also use this in the place of getActivity()
which will make your toast look like this


     Toast.makeText(this,"Message",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

A simple [Fragment] subclass.
Kotlin!
contextA - is a parent (main) Activity. Set it on create object.

class Start(contextA: Context) : Fragment() {

var contextB: Context = contextA;

override fun onCreateView(
    inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
    savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    val fl = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_start, container, false)

    // only thet variant is worked on me
    fl.button.setOnClickListener { view -> openPogodaUrl(view) }

    return fl;
}

fun openPogodaUrl(view: View) {        
    try {
        pogoda.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() { // pogoda - is a WebView
            override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
                view?.loadUrl(url)
                return true
            }

        pogoda.loadUrl("http://exemple.com/app_vidgets/pogoda.html");
    }
    catch (e: Exception)
    {
        Toast.makeText(contextB, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

In Kotlin :

Inside Activity: Toast.makeText(this, "Your Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()

Inside Fragment: Toast.makeText(context, "Your Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()

Inside Adapter: Toast.makeText(context.context, "Your Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()

Here first context is Activity or Fragment instance.

Unique Approach

(Will work for Dialog, Fragment, Even Util class etc...)

`ApplicationContext.getInstance().toast("I am toast");`

Add below code in Application class accordingly.

public class ApplicationContext extends Application {

private static ApplicationContext instance;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    instance = this;
}

public static void toast(String message) {
    Toast.makeText(getContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

Use Toast inside Fragment
