How to extend Activity in a Java class already extended

Question

I'm developing an AR Android App using Metaio. I need to show some data when a real object has been tracked. To do this I register a callback, this is the best way that I have found.

Unfortunately to use correctly getFragmentManager(), I need to import Activity properties but i can't extend the class (already extended).

I think that getContext is the right way, but I do not know how to implement it.

This is the callback register in main activity:

metaioSDK.registerCallback(new ProvaTracking());

This is the Tracking class:

package com.metaio.Example;

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.os.Build;
import android.util.Log;

import com.metaio.sdk.jni.IMetaioSDKCallback;
import com.metaio.sdk.jni.TrackingValues;
import com.metaio.sdk.jni.TrackingValuesVector;

public class ProvaTracking extends IMetaioSDKCallback {

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
    @Override
    public void onTrackingEvent(TrackingValuesVector trackingValuesVector) {
        super.onTrackingEvent(trackingValuesVector);

        for (int i=0; i<trackingValuesVector.size(); i++)
        {
            final TrackingValues v = trackingValuesVector.get(i);
            if (v.isTrackingState())
            {
                TestFragment trendsFragment = new TestFragment();
                getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, trendsFragment).commit();

                Log.d("Alessandro", "Works!!");

            }
        }

    }

}

add a constructor that takes a `Context` as a parameter – Epicblood Jul 30 '15 at 22:36 — Epicblood, Jul 30 '15 at 22:36

Add a constructor that takes in Context (Note that you want the Activity context, not the application context)

so you would change your class to be:

public class ProvaTracking extends IMetaioSDKCallback {
    private Contect mCtx;    

    public ProvaTracking(Context context) {
        mCtx = context;
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
    @Override
    public void onTrackingEvent(TrackingValuesVector trackingValuesVector) {
        super.onTrackingEvent(trackingValuesVector);

        for (int i=0; i<trackingValuesVector.size(); i++)
        {
            final TrackingValues v = trackingValuesVector.get(i);
            if (v.isTrackingState())
            {
                TestFragment trendsFragment = new TestFragment();

                if (mCtx instanceof Activity)
                    ((Activity) mCtx).getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, trendsFragment).commit();

                Log.d("Alessandro", "Works!!");

            }
        }

    }

}

then call it with metaioSDK.registerCallback(new ProvaTracking(getContext()));

Anyway the error remains. **getFragmentManager()** cannot resolve method! — RedFlea, Jul 31 '15 at 18:46
@RedFlea my apologies, you have to cast `Activity`, will update my answer — Epicblood, Jul 31 '15 at 19:30
