Toast does not display when used in catch block

Question

I noticed that a toast isn't displayed when it's used inside a catch block. Does anyone know how to show toasts when catching exceptions? An Example:

try {
    // try to open a file
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    Toast.makeText(this, R.string.txt_file_not_found, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    return; // cancel processing
}

Answer 1

Should be like this:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, R.string.txt_file_not_found, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
