xamarin android application

only the service can hide the toast since it resides outside of your application

ok how ?

where in your service do you have the toast.show?

dear All

here are some details that might help you solving my problem:

private async Task PullAllDataFunction(Message msg, Context _Context)
            {
                
               ShowMessage(_Context, _Context.GetString(Resource.String.downloading_Items));
                await PullData.GetInstance().FetchITemsDataAsync();
				ShowMessage(_Context, _Context.GetString(Resource.String.Customers));
                await PullData.GetInstance().FetchCustomersDataAsync();
              CompletedSelfResult(_Context, msg.Arg1); //here a message that downloading data has been completed
            }

			show message function:
			 private void ShowMessage(Context _Context, string m_Message)
            {
              var m_thread = new Java.Lang.Thread(() =>
                     {
                         Task.Run(() =>
                         {
                             try
                             {
                                 Toast.MakeText(outerInstance, m_Message, ToastLength.Long).Show();
                             }
                             catch
                             {
                                 ToastUtils.ShowMessage(_Context, m_Message);
                             }
                         }).ConfigureAwait(false);//ConfigureAwait is used to avoid deadlocks
                     });
                m_thread.Start();
                
                //

this issue has been fixed as below:

     public class ToastUtils
        {
            static Toast toast = null;
            public static void ShowMessage(Context context, System.String m_Message)
            {


                try
                {
                    DisplayMessage(context, m_Message);
                    ClearMessage(context, m_Message);
                }
                catch (System.Exception ex)
                {
                    Log.Debug(TAG, ex.ToString());
                }
            }
            public static void ClearMessage(Context context, System.String m_Message)
            {
                toast.SetText(m_Message);
                toast.Cancel();
            }
            public static void DisplayMessage(Context context, System.String m_Message)
            {

                try
                {
                    toast = Toast.MakeText(context, m_Message, ToastLength.Long);
                    toast.Show();

                }
                catch
                {
                    Looper.Prepare();//checks if there is no Looper already attached to our Thread (remember, only one Looper per Thread) and then creating and attaching a Looper.
                    toast = Toast.MakeText(context, m_Message, ToastLength.Long);
                    toast.Show();
                    Looper.Loop();//cause our Looper to start looping.
                }

            }
        }
