[android-developers] Is it possible to start an Activity from a non-context class?

2010-05-04 Thread Michael J
For example, I have an activity that uses a utility class.  I would
like to be able to start an activity from the utility class and have
the activity result sent back to the utility class.

The only way I could think of starting the activity was to pass the
original activity to the utility class, so that the utility class
could use the original activity to start the activity.  The problem
with this is that the activity is sent to the original activity,
rather than the utility class.

I also thought of actually making the utility class an activity
itself, but that would make using the utility class much more
complicated.

Thanks for any advice!

Why are you doing this? What purpose is your utility class serving that it
requires starting and retrieving data from another activity?

just pass your context over to the utility class via getter/setter or in 
constructor...

And how is that different than what the OP has already tried (passing the
Activity itself)?
