Question

I have the following code:

Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.icon);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bMap);

I am getting the error:

The method getResources() is undefined for the type ImageDownloader

How can I access my resources?

Answer 1

Create a new Constructor in your ImageDownloader class with following code:

public ImageDownloader(Activity mActivity){

// create a class level activity object in your ImageDownloader class.
   activity = mActivity;
}

Now you just need to change your download code a bit:

Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(activity.getResources(), R.drawable.icon);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bMap);

Hope this helps!!
