Question

I followed the example from this site to eliminate the issues with static vs non static methods.

public static void startVoiceRecognitionActivity() {
  Log.d("Buttons","Start voice called in buttons");         

  Buttons demo = new Buttons();
  Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
        RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Voice recognition Demo...");

  Log.d("Buttons","Intent to start the command is:  "  +intent);
  demo.startActivityForResult(intent,VOICE_RECOGNITION_REQUEST_CODE);           
}

This code works in the main activity but the demo.startActivityForResult(intent,VOICE_RECOGNITION_REQUEST_CODE); generates the following error in the “Buttons” service class:

The method startActivityForResult(Intent, int) is undefined for the type Buttons

Can anyone clue me into what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Can’t really answer this without knowing more about the Buttons class… Is Buttons an Activity or does it otherwise have a Context? If not, there’s your problem. See this question.
