How to get the Activity in nativescript plugin?

Question

I have some trouble when develop the nativescript.I don't know how to get the Activity in nativescript plugin?

In android:

import android.app.Activity;
import com.alipay.sdk.app.PayTask;
public Alipay(Activity activity) {
    this.activity = activity;
    PayTask alipay = new PayTask(activity);
    String result = alipay.pay(payInfo);
}

When I develop a plugin in nativescript.I write this code:

var application = require("application");
var context = application.android.context;
//var context = application.android.foregroundActivity;
 
module.exports = {
    startpay: function(orderInfo) {

        var payTask = new com.alipay.sdk.app.PayTask(context);
        return payTask.payV2(orderInfo,true);
    }
};

It can use the com.alipay.sdk.app.PayTask(). But context is wrong.I have try

var context = application.android.context;

and

var context = application.android.foregroundActivity;

But when App runing also has exception:

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread. com.tns.NativeScriptException:  Calling js method onClick failed

You can use the core-modules API to retrieve the application context/activity as described in: https://docs.nativescript.org/cookbook/application#using-the-android-application-context

import app = require("application"); var context = app.android.context;

or

var utilsAd = require("utils/utils").ad; var context = utilsAd.getApplicationContext();

It also don't work.My mean is how to import the android.app.Activity in nativescript plugin? because the com.alipay.sdk.app.PayTask() function must use it.The jar package's url is: http://aopsdkdownload.cn-hangzhou.alipay-pub.aliyun-inc.com/demo/AlipaySDK_No_UTDID.zip?spm=a219a.7629140.0.0.r5xKQ3&file=AlipaySDK_No_UTDID.zip. I want to call PayTask(). – dingyucong Jan 16 '17 at 02:20
In that case you could extend your own Application/Activity classes (https://docs.nativescript.org/runtimes/android/advanced-topics/extend-application-activity) in NativeScript, and then retrieving it as detailed in the following answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13994622/6408287 – pkanev Jan 16 '17 at 07:37
