A toast is for a quick message that has no side-effect or requires interaction. If you trigger a toast each time a wrong number is shown, you could potentially queue up a very long list of Toasts to show the user if they spammed the wrong number. If you want to ensure that they've seen the message, and don't want to proceed until the message is viewed and dismissed, consider a dialog. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
