the method getApplicationContext() is undefined

Question

public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gps Disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);


}

So this is what I have, and it shows an error and tells me The method getApplicationContext() is undefined for the type MyLocationListener

what should I do to avoid this error

use a activity context instead of getApplicationContext() – Raghunandan May 21 '13 at 20:19 — Raghunandan, May 21 '13 at 20:19
Is this method inside an `Activity`? – codeMagic May 21 '13 at 20:28 — codeMagic, May 21 '13 at 20:28
no it is not its a class that implements LocationListener – john parker May 21 '13 at 20:34 — john parker, May 21 '13 at 20:34
Then you need to pass a context to it – codeMagic May 21 '13 at 20:40 — codeMagic, May 21 '13 at 20:40

Since you aren't in an Activity you need to pass a Context to the class. Wherever you instantiate this class pass your Activities context

MyClass myClass = new MyClass(this);

Then create a constructor in that class that accepts Context as a param and use that

public class MyClass {
    Context c;
    public MyClass(Context context) {
         c = context;
     }
}

then when you need to use it

public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
    Toast.makeText(c, "Gps Disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}

I resolve this by extending Application class, my class is AppController:

public class AppController extends Application{
    ...
}
