Android: How to call getActivity() in OnItemClickListener()?

Question

I am trying to call getActivity() in the OnItemClickListener:

class ViewTest{ //called in a fragment
setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int p, long i) {
                ((MainActivity) getActivity()).makeResultsbarVisible();
...
            }

        });

}

In the fragment, the class is instantiated as:

ViewTest editTest = new ViewTest(this);

But I get an error that I cannot fix:

The method getActivity() is undefined for the type new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){}

How can I call getActivity inside onItemClick()? Thanks.

post your full class code if possible... are you using in Fragment? — Gopal Gopi, Dec 12 '13 at 10:23
can you post your outer(main) class declaration and inner class declaration? I mean is your inner class is static? — Gopal Gopi, Dec 12 '13 at 10:30

You can only use getActivity inside a Fragment class or one extending it. If your onItemClickListener is in an Activity use MainActivity.this

Great solution! What exactly gives me MainActivity.this when called from Listener inside MainActivity class, current instance of MainActivity?? – patryk Nov 28 '17 at 23:35

Use Class_name.this or define a Context variable. and then call your makeResultsbarVisible() by using Context variable,

Like,

Context c = this;

c.makeResultsbarVisible();
