Issue Starting Activity From Non-activity Class

I am a noob to android and I have a Map Activity that also uses OverlayItems. Within the onButtonTap method of my overlay class, I want to execute startActivity so i can then use i

Solution 1:

you can create method in your MapActivity class like this to get context...

Edit : Take some static variable like this...

publicstatic Context mContext;

In Activity's onCreate() method assign base context to it...

mContext = getBaseContext();

& return mContext...

publicstatic Context getContext() {
    return mContext;
}

& call it in to your non activity class to start activity...

IntentcallIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);   
callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+MapActivity.phonenumber0));
MapActivity.getContext().startActivity(callIntent);

Solution 2:

Try this before start the activity set this flag :

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Hope it will work.

Solution 3:

You can pass the context of the activity (Map Activity) to your class and then use it..
