Re: [android-developers] how to display a Toast from an IntentService?

Look at the service API demos, I think all of them display toasts.  There should be nothing special involved -- just use the regular toast methods from the main thread.

So, I have an IntentService that handles button callbacks from a
widget.  When the user presses a certain button, I want to display a
Toast.  I return from onHandleIntent almost immediately after doing
Toast.show(), which in turn stops the service and kills its thread,
which keeps the Toast from actually being displayed.

Can anyone suggest an easy way to get the Toast (or something similar)
to display from an IntentService?

Thanks a bunch,
Steve
