Can not find MediaPlayer.create(Context context, int resid) method from WordAdapter class

Question

Trying to use WordAdapter.this as a Context doesn't get accepted by the compiler in the following code:

playButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(WordAdapter.this, currentWord.getAudioResourceId());
                mp.start();
            }
        });

The class is WordAdapter, and it extends ArrayAdapter using a collection of Word objects.

MediaPlayer.create() needs a Context as first parameter. You can pass an context to it. Your adapter class is not child of Context class so you can not pass WordAdapter.this as an context.

Since using only `this` didn't work either, I tried with `getContext()` and it works now. Thank you! – mr.uaila Apr 30 '18 at 16:03
Dude how can this work. which return you current class reference. I just told you way to do this. It is your class where you are doing code. You will know where is your context. – Khemraj Sharma Apr 30 '18 at 16:06
You can use this in your activity class. or an class which extends Context class. – Khemraj Sharma Apr 30 '18 at 16:06
May be you are working in dialog or fragment. where getContext() returns its activity context – Khemraj Sharma Apr 30 '18 at 16:06
I hope it helped you. You can mark this answer right to appreciate me. – Khemraj Sharma Apr 30 '18 at 16:07
