I am inside onFocusChangeListenerMethod inside my activity class. How do I get access to my activity object to use in Toast.makeText() method? What other ways are there to display an error message (user has entered incorrect text). Here is my code
I have commented the code in "else" part that I want to fix.

Thanks
Imad

Hi,Imad

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Invalid Value(s) Entered in \"Values\" Field", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();



i hope your application is extending Activity (any of android activity) then, instead of writing getApplicationContext() try following this will work.

"this" is not working because I am inside a listener.

Imad, can you show class code and Log (error) here,that will help us to find the problem solution.
one solution: create class variable Context and set it inside onCreate(); use this variable in your Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Invalid Value(s) Entered in \"Values\" Field", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Thanks for your reply. I resolved it with the following code. I think you are right. I should be able to use getApplicationContext() too. But this is what I did.
