getAssets(); from another class

Question

I have a simple read a txt-file function.

AssetManager mngr = getAssets(); InputStream is = mngr.open("textdb.txt");

It works from my main activity. But if I use the same code in a separate class, getAssets() just return null / crash.

I am unable to find why it only works from the main class.

Any ideas?

Solution:

subClass.ReadSettings(getApplicationContext()); public String[] ReadSettings(Context myContext) { }

Is your other class also an Activity? getAssets() is a method of Context. If your class is not an activity, you'll need to pass a context into it and then call getAssets on that.

Like so:

public myClass(Context myContext) { AssetManager mngr = myContext.getAssets(); InputStream is = mngr.open("textdb.txt"); }

No problem! Could you select his answer as the correct answer by clicking the check mark? This deletes the question from the Unanswered list and makes it easier for others with the same problem to find a correct answer.
