Show Toast within Synchronous Method

[Orgbrat]

What is the correct way to show a Toast that is inside of a synchronous method?

[VladislavAntonyuk]

async void ShowToast()
{
    await Toast.Make(title).Show();
}

Hi @VladislavAntonyuk and @brminnick ,
I need to show the Toast from inside a synchronous method that is called from inside the class constructor. So no async/ await allowed... Was trying to stay away from a Task.Run() kinda thing or should I just do the Task.Run()?

[brminnick]

class MyContentPage : ContentPage
{
  public MyContentPage()
  {
      ShowToast();
  }

  async void ShowToast()
  {
      await Toast.Make(title).Show();
  }
}

Alternatively, you could use the .SafeFireAndForget() extension method in my AsyncAwaitBestPractices NuGet Package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/AsyncAwaitBestPractices/

class MyContentPage : ContentPage
{
  public MyContentPage()
  {
      Toast.Make(”Hello”).Show().SafeFireAndForget();
  }
}

Ok @brminnick you convinced me. I added AsyncAwaitBestPractices nuget to my Maui application.
