Question

I’m trying to write a basic toast example based on the volume buttons getting pressed up or down. I know it sounds silly and insane since most people avoid volume button things like its the plague. I am just wondering why by chance the “Context” area would be highlighted in red.

Maybe I’m missing a code some place but either way here is something along the lines of what I am working with:

public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "Now stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }  

Also the code itself runs just not as it is intended to.

Answer 1

Because context is not defined in your class/activity , Better you use

public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "Now stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }  // if this method is inside activity

or

public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    Toast.makeText(yourActivityname.this, "Now stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }  

or

Define a variable in your activity as Context context; intialize it in onCreate() Method of activity as context = this;
Then you can use context in Toast.makeText method.
