Display Toast, Android

Question

Hi,

I have a slider that can be pulled up and then it shows a map. I can move the slider up and down to hide or show the map. When the map is on front, I can handle touch events on that map. Everytime I touch, a AsyncTask is fired up, it downloads some data and makes a Toast that displays the data. Although I start the task on touch event no toast is displayed, not till I close the slider. When the slider is closed and the map is not displayed anymore the Toast appears.

any ideas?

well start the task

EDIT:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView){ 
    if (event.getAction() == 1) {
        new TestTask(this).execute();
        return true;            
    }else{
        return false;
    }
 }

and in onPostExecute make a toast

Toast.makeText(app.getBaseContext(),(String)data.result, 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Oo No I have an idea. in new TestTask(this), this is a reference to MapOverlay and not to MapActivity

try this...

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),(String)data.result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
