Android how to pass an Activity.class as an argument for a function

Question

I recently moved to Android from Python and am stuck here.

This is my class declaration to create a common function for an Alert Dialog which accepts necessary parameters:

public static AlertDialog.Builder getAlertDialog(String strArray[],         String strTitle, Activity v) {      return new AlertDialog.Builder(v)     .setTitle(strTitle).setItems(strArray,             new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {          @Override         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {             // TODO Auto-generated method stub         }     }); } 

But I cannot call this function via this piece of code which gives me an error:

  getAlertDialog(strArray, strTitle, MakeCall.class).show(); 

The error is:

the method getAlertDialog(String[], String, Activity) in the type   MakeCallAlertDialog is not applicable for the arguments (String[], String, Class<TestActivity>) 

How can I get this correctly?

Answer 1

call like this:

ButtonClickBySani(R.id.btnsehrabandi, sehrabandiActivity.class); 

Definition:

private void ButtonClickBySani(int ButtonId, final Class<? extends Activity> ActivityToOpen) {     Button btn;     // Locate the button in activity_main.xml     btn = (Button) findViewById(ButtonId);      // Capture button clicks     btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {         public void onClick(View arg0) {             startActivity(new Intent(getBaseContext(), ActivityToOpen));             // Start NewActivity.class             //Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), ActivityToOpen);            // startActivity(myIntent);         }     }); }
