I seem to be having trouble with the linkify I am using in my Custom Adapter. For some reason I recieve the following stack track when I click on one of the links:

Here is the code that is calling it:

    TextView bot = new TextView( c );
    bot.setText(li.getBottomText());
    bot.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
    bot.setTextSize(12);
    bot.setPadding(50, 35, 0, 10);
    Linkify.addLinks(bot, Linkify.ALL);
    rL.addView(bot,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

I understand what the error is saying but I am not sure how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Turns out the answer to this is a lot simpler than I had originally thought. The problem was that when I was passing the context to my custom adapter I was passing the getApplicationContext() which is not the same as using the this identifier.

    INCORRECT WAY:

    Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
CustomAdapter mAdapter = new CustomAdapter( 
                mContext,
                itemList);

    CORRECT WAY:

    CustomAdapter mAdapter = new CustomAdapter( 
                this,
                itemList);
