Question

This is the error that I’m getting but I’m not getting any Quick Fixes on how to fix it. It just gives me the error. I’m a newbie with fixing errors for an Android app.

The bit of code that is throwing the error:

Toast.makeText(CameraPreview2.this, "Cancelled!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

The error:

The method makeText(Context, CharSequence, int) in the type Toast is not
applicable for the arguments (CameraPreview2<detailLayout>, String, int) 

The full code is:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == 1) {
            uriVideo = data.getData();
            Toast.makeText(CameraPreview2.this, uriVideo.getPath(),
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
        uriVideo = null;
        Toast.makeText(CameraPreview2.this, "Cancelled!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
    ...

Impossible to say with the little bit of code you posted but Toast.makeText(...) does take a Context (which typically is something like this or ClassName.this.) i’m not sure what you passed it but clearly it isn’t a Context.
