Android Question An Activity context is required Error

ddahan · Mar 16, 2014

Hi,
I'm trying build a panel with his views and return it from a class module but I'm getting this error:

Parsing code. 0.15
Compiling code. Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: An Activity context is required.
This class has a process context.
Adding a global "Activity object" variable will fix this issue.
Occurred on line: 216
SearchSVRowPnl.Initialize("")
Word: initialize

This concept works well on a small example , but on the big project it fails.

I have found a work around that resolve the issue here:
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...s-when-no-activity-context-is-required.19300/

I'm wondering if this issue is still B4A bug or a code issue.

Thanks,
David.

The bug discussed in that thread was fixed long ago.

The problem is that the compiler treats your class as a process object.

Add a global "ui" variable:

B4X:

Sub Class_Globals
 Private buttonToSetActivityContext As Button 'ignore
End Sub

The compiler will then treat your class context as an activity context.

Thanks for your fast response.
is it the same solution as adding :
Dim dummyView As View ?
