Build a Simple Android App

Hi there. I have difficulty in solving the Toast problem. in task 3 out of three I have to add a Second toast which I have create out of two lines I have created in two previous tasks and make it a one line. I don't really understand how is this possible and can't think about a solution due to my limited JAVA knowledge. If someone knows the answer will be appreciated.

ToastTest.java 
Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this,"All done!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
Toast.makeText(this,"All done!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast allToast = Toast.makeText(this,"Great!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This is the first part which I believe you got:

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
allDoneToast.show();

For the last challenge, you dont create a variable for your toast but rather just create a toast and display it.

Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

You got it correct in your code on the second line. Your third line won't work because you cant show a toast and store it as a variable. Only if you dont show it then it would work
