Cannot resolve method 'getApplicationContext()' in Fragment class

Question

private void showToast(String message)
{
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Should I change to getActivity()?

Answer 1

getApplicationContext() must be called on an instance of a Context class, so yes, you should call:

getActivity().getApplicationContext()

You can also just pass getActivity as the first parameter since the activity itself extends Context class.
