I am trying to initialise an intent in a function like below :

public void playNextOver() {
    songInfo detail = (songInfo) songAdapter.getItem(globalPos);

    songTitle = detail.getTitle();

    songPath = detail.getPath();
    songId = String.valueOf(detail.getID());
    songArtist = detail.getArtist();

    Intent globalIntentTemp = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), songPlay.class);
    globalIntentTemp.putExtra("SONG_ID", songId);
    globalIntentTemp.putExtra("SONG_TITLE", songTitle);
    globalIntentTemp.putExtra("SONG_ARTIST", songArtist);
    globalIntentTemp.putExtra("SONG_PATH", songPath);
    getApplicationContext().startActivity(globalIntentTemp);
}

I am doing this inside an activity.

But it is giving me following error at runtime on this statement

Intent globalIntentTemp = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), songPlay.class);

I don't know what to do since I am new to Android. Please help.

    Please edit your question and post the entire activity and the entire Java stack trace. – CommonsWare Sep 05 '16 at 18:48
  • Question is updated please have a look. – coderahul1994 Sep 05 '16 at 18:55
  • it still does not have information about the state in which method is called – Nayan Srivastava Sep 05 '16 at 18:59
  • Please post your function `getAppContext()` – hqt Sep 05 '16 at 18:59
  • Actually it is getApplicationContext() instead of getAppContext() and thanks @hqt for understanding :) – coderahul1994 Sep 05 '16 at 19:04

    Before complaining about the behavior of others, focus first on your own behavior. I asked you to post the entire activity. You decided not to do that. As a result, others decided to give you a generic response, since giving you specific help is difficult without a [mcve]. If I had to guess, `playlistManager` is not a valid activity. For example, perhaps you created an instance of `playlistManager` via its constructor, which will result in an invalid activity. – CommonsWare Sep 05 '16 at 19:24
