Question

I use a shared Toast across different Activities in order to only show the latest message, immediately discarding any previous ones. I put the code in the custom Application object:

public class GameApp extends Application {
    private Toast mToast;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        mToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    }

    public void displayToast(int textId) {
        displayToast(getText(textId));
    }

    public void displayToast(CharSequence text) {
        mToast.cancel();
        mToast.setText(text);
        mToast.show();
    }
}

The Toast showed up on my 1.6, 2.2, and 3.0 emulators. But when I downloaded the released app from the Market, it only shows on my G1 (CyanMod 6.1) but not Xoom (3.0.1). I tried connecting the Xoom with USB debugging, but nothing relevant showed up in LogCat.

Prior to this, I used to do Toasts the conventional way (i.e. via Toast.makeText()) and that worked on everything as expected.

Could there be any potential problem with my above code, or could this be a bug in the Xoom? Here is the link to my app, in case you want to test it. The Toast should show up when you click Today, Progress in the Main screen. I appreciate any help. Thank you very much 🙂

i’m not sure but the sdk that motorola uses may be different.. and mToast.cancel() could be doin something terrible.. so have you tried this..

public void displayToast(CharSequence text) {

        mToast.setText(text);
        mToast.show();
    }
