Question

I know this question is general but I am always face to face this problem.
My question is I can reach getResource() or getContext() in Activity but when I want to use a class without activity
example:
public class MapOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay

I can not reach getResources() or Context.

How can I do that anybody know any trick?

Answer 1

ItemizedOverlay in not extending android.content.Context.

You can create the construcor like

private Context mContext;    
public MapOverlay(Context context){
this.mContext=context;
}

and then use the mContext field to call getResource() or getContext() methods.
