The method getResources() and context is undefined for the type

Question

I use the getString() to become String from string.xml. In my class (non-activity) does not work:

How do I get the String to this class?

public class myClass{
     public String[] myInfo(String ID) {
        String myString = getRessources().getString(R.string.myString);
     };
}

your class does not extend activity. you need to pass the context to get resources — Raghunandan, May 26 '13 at 13:49
Follow the answer below. As mentioned in the answer you need the activity context to get resources. pass it to the constructor of the non-activity class and use the same. — Raghunandan, May 26 '13 at 14:06

You have to call context.getResources().getString(), but you have to pass in a context in order to do that.

You can create a constructor, that takes that parameter for example:

Context context;

public myClass(Context context) {
    this.context = context;
}
