Get Drawable resource from inside DefaultHandler

Question

I have the following code that works on my main Activity but I have an extended DefaultHandler class and want to be able to access some resources.

How do I get the following to work?

Drawable newMarker = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.generic2r);

Answer 1

You could reference the activity context with MyActivity.this, to produce:

Drawable newMarker = MyActivity.this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.generic2r);

As long as you make sure that you only need your Handler from this specific activity.

Answer 2

Pass the context as a parameter to Your handler.
