Question

I’ve been trying to load a bitmap in a non-activity class but everything I’ve done so far has failed. I have even tried to send the Context as reference, but this also results in error.

My current situation looks like this:

// Surface class
public class GameScreen extends SurfaceView implements Callback {
    TileSet ts;

    public GameScreen(Context context, AttributeSet attr) {
        // Here I send context as a reference
        ts = new TileSet(context, R.drawable.tiles);
    }
}


// This is the class I need to get resources
public class TileSet {
    public TileSet(Context context, int id) {
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), id);

    }
}

Any ideas?

Have you tried just getting the bitmap in the Activity and then passing that to the constructor of your GameScreen?
