Question

I have an activity where I grab a textview normallythen I have a separate class thats needs that textview to modify it

//textview
 this.tvUpdate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvUpdate);

 new GetData(context,params,method,preText);

I want to get this same view in a seperate class without having to pass it in the constructor.

 public class GetData {

private ProgressBar pbTitle;
private TextView tvUpdate;
private Context context;
private String preText,method;
private String[] params;

public void getData(Context context,String[] params, String method,String preText){
    this.context = context;

            //how do i get this text view?
    this.tvUpdate = ???

             this.params = params;
    this.method = method;
}
}

not sure if this is possible.

Edit working line of code

tvUpdate = (TextView) ((Activity) context).findViewById(R.id.tvUpdate);

Answer 1

this might work.

this.tvUpdate = ((YourActivity) context) findViewById(R.id.tvUpdate);
