It is possible to start a Intent from ItemizedOverlay class? (mapview item)


I have a mapview, with itemizedoverlays, exactly like in the example of android developers guide: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html

on the itemizedoverlay, i have a personalized dialog, with a button. all fine until here, but now i have problems trying to add the functionality to the button. I need that the button start's a new activity, but i can't achieve that.... ¿why? because on this line: i = new Intent (NyItemizedOverlay.class, Locate.class); i have the current Intent class as first parameter, and the target intent class at second parameter.

MyItemizedOverlay is not a Intent class... it's ItemizedOverlay extension, then it doesn't compile when i try to launch the intent, i am trying to pass a normal class as first argument, and it needs an intent class. I have to put the launcher class, but the launcher class is not an intent :S

If i try to put another intent class on the first argument, i got this error: No enclosing instance of the type AllActivity is accessible in scope .... (AllActivity is a public activity class of my app)

How i can solve this?

full code here:

public class MyItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay {


 private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
 private ArrayList<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
 private Context mContext;

 public MyItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) {
  super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
 }

 protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
   return mOverlays.get(i);
 }

 public int size() {
   return mOverlays.size();
 }

 public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) {
     mOverlays.add(overlay);
     populate();
 }
 public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay,String permission) {
     mOverlays.add(overlay);
     permissions.add(permission);
     populate();
 }

 public MyItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context) {
    //super(defaultMarker);
    super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
    mContext = context;
 }
 public void clear()
 {
  mOverlays.clear();
  permissions.clear();//lista de permisos de cada usuario, ya que hay dos campos, el email (snippet) y el permission, una lista.
 }

 protected boolean onTap(int index) {
   try{
    OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(index);
    if (permissions.size()==0)
    {     
     AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
     dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
     dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
     dialog.show();
    }
    else
    {

    //set up dialog
    Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.personal_dialog);
    dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
    dialog.setCancelable(true);
    //there are a lot of settings, for dialog, check them all out!


    //set up text
    TextView DialogEmail = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.DialogEmail);
    TextView DialogPermission = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.DialogPermission);
    DialogEmail.setText(item.getSnippet());
    DialogPermission.setText(permissions.get(index));

    final String userName=item.getTitle();
    final String email=item.getSnippet();
    final int cont=index;
    //set up button
    Button button = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.DialogButton);
    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onClick(View v) {
      //do something
      Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); //bundle is like the letter
      bundle.putString ("user",userName ); //arg1 is the keyword of the txt, arg2 is the txt
            bundle.putString ("email", email);
            bundle.putString ("permission", permissions.get(cont));
            Intent i=null;

             i = new Intent (MyItemizedOverlay.class, Locate.class);

            i.putExtras(bundle);
            startActivity(i);
     }
    });
    //now that the dialog is set up, it's time to show it    
    dialog.show();

    }
   }catch(Exception e){}
   return true;
 }


}

Solution

  • The Intent javadoc clearly show that the first arg has to be a Context (extended by activity) and the second one the class of the activity you're trying to launch. In your case, you'll need to do :

    Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, AllActivity.class);
    mContext.startActivity(intent);
