cannot use the contentResolver

Question

I almost finished my appliaction ... but now I can't use the ContentResolver like this:

Bitmap imageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(
            getContentResolver(), imageUri);   // Problem!!!!!   

I have no idea how to fix this...it works if i use this syntax in my main-Activity... but it doesnt't work in my class CustomItemizedOverlay.

I marked the line I have to fix ...

eclipse says: the methode getContentResolver () is undefined for the type CustomItemizedOverlay

   public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) {
      mapOverlays.add(overlay);
       this.populate();

getContentResolver is a method that belongs to subclasses of Context, such as an Activity. your class does not have such a method so you can't use it. Easiest fix is to store a reference to your activity in your new class:

Context context;
public CustomItemizedOverlay(Context myContext, Drawable defaultMarker) {
    super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
    context = myContext;
}

and then call context.getContentResolver(...) when you need it.
