non-static method getIntent() cannot be referenced from a static context

Question

I'm getting error:

Error:(109, 18) error: non-static method getIntent() cannot be referenced from a static context

on the line:

init(getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Const.EXTRA_DATA));

Here is my code:

public static class Upper_fragment extends Fragment {

        private static final String TAG = "PlayActivity";

        private Video vid;
        int mSavedVideoPosition;
        protected VideoPlayerInterface vidp;
        private LocalSingleHttpServer mServer;


        // to be implemented in concrete activities
        public Cipher getCipher() throws GeneralSecurityException {
            final Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES");    // NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException
            c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec("abcdef1234567890".getBytes(), "AES"));    // InvalidKeyException
            return c;
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View upperView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.upper_fragment, container, false);

            vidp = (VideoPlayerInterface) upperView.findViewById(R.id.vid);
            getRTSPUrl();

            init(getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Const.EXTRA_DATA));
            return upperView;
        }
}

What is the problem? How to fix it?

Here is another error on the next code Error:(120, 21) error: non-static method runOnUiThread(Runnable) cannot be referenced from a static context. how do i correct it. please help

                                }

                                path = mServer.getURL(path);
                                vidp.setVideoPath(path);
                                vidp.play();


                            } catch (Exception e) {
                                startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivity.class));

                        }
                    });

                }
            }).start();

What is the problem?

You are calling getIntent() on a Fragment

How to fix it?

You have to call getActivity() before the getIntent()

For example :

init(getActivity().getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Const.EXTRA_DATA));

it worked ... I also have another one of the same Error:(120, 21) error: non-static method runOnUiThread(Runnable) cannot be referenced from a static context – Alex Nov 13 '15 at 14:33
Ahh I didn't understand you call `getActivity()` also after and it will work – Skizo-ozᴉʞS ツ Nov 13 '15 at 14:43

remvoe static ;

public class Upper_fragment extends Fragment {

        private static final String TAG = "PlayActivity";

        private Video vid;
        int mSavedVideoPosition;
        protected VideoPlayerInterface vidp;
        private LocalSingleHttpServer mServer;


        // to be implemented in concrete activities
        public Cipher getCipher() throws GeneralSecurityException {
            final Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES");    // NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException
            c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec("abcdef1234567890".getBytes(), "AES"));    // InvalidKeyException
            return c;
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View upperView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.upper_fragment, container, false);

            vidp = (VideoPlayerInterface) upperView.findViewById(R.id.vid);
            getRTSPUrl();

            init(getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Const.EXTRA_DATA));
            return upperView;
        }

Please consider editing your post to add more explanation about what your code does and why it will solve the problem. An answer that mostly just contains code (even if it's working) usually wont help the OP to understand their problem. — SuperBiasedMan, Nov 13 '15 at 16:36
