Change button text color Android M

Question

Ok, so i need to change two buttons´ text color after they have been clicked, and I´ve this:

manButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            manButton.setTextColor(getApplication().getResources().getColor(R.color.selectedGender));
            womanButton.setTextColor(getApplication().getResources().getColor(R.color.unselectedGender));
        }
    });

But the method getColor() looks to be deprecated since Android M, and as my app is just for android lollipop and higher I need to solve this issue. I´ve been searching on the net and I´ve discovered that since Android M for getting a color from an xml you have to use: ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.my_color) and I´ve tried it, but it says it can not resolve the symbol context, I´ve also tried changing context to this, as it is inside an Activity, but it gaves me this error:

 Wrong 1st argument type. Found: 'android.view.View.OnClickListener', required: 'android.content.Context' 

getColor(android.content.Context,int) in ContextCompat cannot be applied to (anonymous android.view.View.OnClickListener,int)

So, what should I do? Thanks a lot!

Replace this with WhateverYourActivityNameIs.this, where WhateverYourActivityNameIs is whatever your activity class name is.
