I have a class called ReadXMLFile.java that get a parsing on a XML file called infofermata.xml. Using the DOMParser, it works. My app have a Button in the MainActivity that link in another activity (carry on ReadXMFile using <ReadXMLFile.readXMLFile(this);>) called "Page1". Now I would to switch data withdrawn from my DOMParser (in ReadXMLFile.java) in Page1, for visualize that data (stored into infofermata.xml).

For this reason I suppose to use an Intent, I write this rows in ReadXMLFile.java after the parsing:

String testo1 = eElement.getElementsByTagName("idfermata").item(0).getTextContent();
Intent nuovaPagina = new Intent(this, Page1.class);
nuovaPagina.putExtra("NomeDati1", testo1);

["testo1" contains the string that I would switch in "Page1"]

But there are an error: non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context.

This is ReadXMLFile code:

            doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

            System.out.println("Root element :" + doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());

            NodeList nList = doc.getElementsByTagName("fermata");

            System.out.println("----------------------------");

            for (int temp = 0; temp < nList.getLength(); temp++) {

                Node nNode = nList.item(temp);

                System.out.println("\nCurrent Element :" + nNode.getNodeName());

                if (nNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

                    Element eElement = (Element) nNode;

                   // System.out.println("Staff id : " + eElement.getAttribute("id"));

                   // Log.i("MyActivity", "\"Id Fermata : \" + eElement.getElementsByTagName(\"idfermata\").item(0).getTextContent()");
                    System.out.println("Id Fermata : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("idfermata").item(0).getTextContent());
                    String testo1 = eElement.getElementsByTagName("idfermata").item(0).getTextContent();
                    Intent nuovaPagina = new Intent(this, Page1.class);
                    nuovaPagina.putExtra("NomeDati1", testo1);

                    System.out.println(testo1); //provo per vedere se stampa quello che ho messo nella variabile "testo1"
                    System.out.println("Naziome : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("nazione").item(0).getTextContent());
                    System.out.println("Paese : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("paese").item(0).getTextContent());
                    System.out.println("Via : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("via").item(0).getTextContent());


                }

                is.close();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }


}

This is infofermata.xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fermata>
    <idfermata>1</idfermata>
    <nazione>Italia</nazione>
    <paese>Lecce</paese>
    <via>Viale Grassi</via>
</fermata>

This is MainActivity.java code:

package com.example.giacomob.myapplication;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ReadXMLFile.readXMLFile(this);
        Button b_load=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button_send);
        b_load.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                Intent openPage1 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Page1.class);
                startActivity(openPage1);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

What I can do now? Please, help me. Thanks :)

this refers to the enclosing instance of the class. Static methods are not members of an instance of the class; they are members of the Class object itself, so they do not have an enclosing instance to reference.

You are already passing in a Context to this method, so just use that instead of this.
