Creating Some(object) from Java

Question

I need to call from Java a Scala API that has a parameter with signature Option[Activity].

I want to pass Some(this), whose class is a derived class from Activity.

I have tried many things:

new Some<Activity>.apply(this)
Some.apply((Activity)this)
Option.apply((Activity)this)

but I get a compilation error like this:

actual argument Some<Activity> cannot be converted 
to Option<Class<? extends Activity>> by method invocation conversion

What is the right way of passing this?

Are you quite sure your method takes an Option[Activity]? Because that message suggests it's taking an Option[Class[_ <: Activity]]. Please post the Scala code and how you're calling it.

A stupid error!. The exact Scala signature was: `Option[Class[_ <: Activity]]`. That explains everything. – david.perez Jan 22 '15 at 15:34
