"context" error in creating a new TableRow

Question

I wrote this code

ref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            TableRow tbrow = new TableRow(this);
.....

I get the following error in the last line :

TableRow(android.content.Context) in TableRow cannot be applied to (anonymous com.google.firebase.database.valueEventListener).

I don't really get what is a context so what should I put as a parameter in TableRow ?

"this" in your code revers to the onDataChanged event, not to the context of your activity. create a context variable and inside your activities onCreate() method do context = this; Now inside your onDataChaged method of the TableRow, use "context" instead of "this" — Davi, Jan 11 '19 at 23:24

Inside anonymous class, you can't use this as its a reference to anonymous class and required parameter is Activity's reference. change this with actityName.this.
