Toast message not displaying in Android studio

Question

I am a beginner trying to follow a basic tutorial, I created an empty activity layout for my app and was trying to display a toast message like this:

    package com.example.myapplication;

    import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "hi", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    }

Answer 1

Since you are inside the Activity, the context can be the Activity itself, so replace:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "hi", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

With:

Toast.makeText(this, "hi", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
