Accessing BundleContext with Felix dependency manager

Question

I am using Apache Felix dependency manager in my project. In the service activation method

@org.apache.felix.dm.annotation.api.Start
public void activate() {
// Need BundleContext here
}

I need an access to BundleContext or Bundle. How can I achieve this?

You can make a volatile BundleContext field in your class and the dependency manager will inject it.

Tried it but it did not work. The context in star() method was null :( – user1278890 Jun 24 '16 at 09:51
As a work around I am using FrameworkUtil.getBundle(this.getClass()); – user1278890 Jun 24 '16 at 09:52
I don't use annotations but `private volatile BundleContext bundleContext;` works for me. – Jeroen Jun 24 '16 at 10:02

When using annotations you need to add a @Inject annotation – Bram Pouwelse Jun 24 '16 at 18:48
