[android-developers] Can we start a new activity or at least display a Toast in TimerTask.run()?

[Xin Zhao]

I tried to deploy a timer and switch the user to another dialog for setting
if times out. But the dialog just cannot display. No error/exception
reported. Vibration works fine though.

What's wrong?

Code:

  private void setAutoPhonecardSelector(int interval) {
    Date timeToRun = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + interval);
    Timer timer = new Timer();

    mAutoPhonecardSelector = new TimerTask() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        mVibrator.vibrate(100);
        Toast.makeText(PhoneCardSelector.this, "test",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }
    };

    timer.schedule(mAutoPhonecardSelector, timeToRun);
  }



Please help!

Thanks in advance!
