Android Toast Won't Disappear

Question

I show the toast, it doesn't disappear, even after the app is closed. How do I fix?

@Override
public void onClipStoreLoadedClipsNotification(ClipStoreLoadedClipsNotification notif) 
{
    final ClipStoreLoadedClipsNotification notification = notif;

    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() 
        {
            Dialogs.DismissAll();
            list.onRefreshComplete();
            TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.loadclipstext);
            ProgressBar pb = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.loadclipsprogress);

            if (notification.moreClipsAvailable)
            {
                text.setText(context.getString(R.string.loading_clips));
                pb.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
            else
            {
                text.setText(context.getString(R.string.no_clips));
                pb.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
                Toast.makeText(SugarLoafContext.playbackTabContext, "No clips found.", duration).show();
            }

            SugarLoafContext.currentCamera = notification.camera;
            clipList = notification.clips;

            refreshListView();
            readyToLoadMoreClips = true;
            if (!firstClipsLoaded)
                firstClipsLoaded = true;
        }
    });


}

Answer 1

Is it running inside a IntentService???

If it is so, the problem is that the Intent Services in Android run in a different thread than the main one, so the Toast is shown in a different thread than the main one, after the time to show is finished, the Android system is unable to find where is the Toast, so it can´t remove it.

I had the same problem, and now, i recommend everyone NOT to show Toast inside a IntentService, instead try to run one commom Service, or to open an Activity, or try something different if it is completely necessary to show the Toast.

The fact that the Toast doesn´t dissapear when you close the App is that the IntentService is still running, and you have to reboot the system or to uninstall the App for the Intent Service to be close.
