I have a service which contains a Timer and TimerTask for receiving data from Webservice in periods of time. everything works fine except Toast. I want to show a Toast to user in procSendMapMovements but i get exception. How can I use Toast in it?
class taskSendMapMovements extends TimerTask {
@Override
public void run() {
hhSendMapMovements.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
};
// /////////////////////
final Runnable rSendMapMovements = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
procSendMapMovements();
}
};
final Handler hhSendMapMovements = new Handler(new Callback() {
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
performOnBackgroundThread(rSendMapMovements);
return false;
}
});
// /////////////////////
public void procSendMapMovements() {
try {
Toast.makeText(SrvDataExchange.this,
"some texts"
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// exception here
// my process
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
try {
timerSendMapMovements = new Timer();
timerSendMapMovements
.schedule(new taskSendMapMovements(),
10*60*1000,
10*60*1000);
//
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "error running service: " + e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "error running service: " + e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
public static Thread performOnBackgroundThread(final Runnable runnable) {
final Thread t = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
runnable.run();
} finally {
}
}
};
t.start();
return t;
}
