I want to preform a Toast
when a background task is completed, just to let the user know that it's finished.
I've made a new class for my asyncTask, but I cannot use getApplicationContext()
within this class.
I'm using task.execute(getTempFile(this), getApplicationContext());
to run the tasks. getTempFile returns a File object, and I was trying to pass the context as a Context object.
My Task class has three variables, AsyncTask<Object, Integer, Integer>
, so the context is in the second object. However, this crashes the application.
public class LocationActivity extends Activity implements LocationListener {
protected void handleImage(Bitmap thumbnail) {
PushDataToServer task = new PushDataToServer();
task.execute(getTempFile(this), getApplicationContext());
}
}
public class PushDataToServer extends AsyncTask<Object, Integer, Integer> {
Context context;
@Override
protected Integer doInBackground(Object... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
this.context = (Context) params[1];
File file = (File) params[0];
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this.context, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
}
Pass a Context
object into the AsyncTask
's constructor.
Sample code:
public class MyTask extends AsyncTask<?, ? ,?> {
private Context mContext;
public MyTask(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
}
and then, when you are constructing your AsyncTask
:
MyTask task = new MyTask(this);
task.execute(...);
