android - Using "getBaseContext" Or "this" when using Toast to display Messages -

i having button laid out in linear layout on activity .

when clicked on it, message appear on screen using toast class

two methods works fine me

first 1 :

private void displaytoast(string msg) {     toast.maketext(getbasecontext(), msg,     toast.length_short).show(); }

and second 1 :

private void displaytoast(string msg) {     toast.maketext(this, msg,     toast.length_short).show(); }

my question deference between getbasecontext() , this ,and when should use getbasecontext() , when should use this ??

your activity context, use directly this.

keep getbasecontext special cases activity not reachable directly.
