How can i use a function from a Activity Class in a non-Activity Class


i have two class in my project.the first one is" public class Schtimetable extends Activity" in which there is a method i need to call in Class B :"public class ClassMode" .The method is




public int calculateWeeks() {
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("currentWeek",
Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
int csweek = preferences.getInt("CSweek", 1);
int weekofyear = preferences.getInt("currentWeek", 0);
int now_weekofyear = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);
return (csweek + now_weekofyear - weekofyear);// return current week
}



i find i can't use it just like this:




Schtimetable s = new Schtimetable();
int oddOReven = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("oddOReven"));
cursor.close();
if ((s.calculateWeeks() % 2 == oddOReven) || (oddOReven == 2)) {
Log.i(TAG, "has Class is true");
return true;
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "has Class is false");
return false;
}



in all,i want to have a data by the method calculateweeks() returned,how can i get it. Thanks !

  1. Don't call methods from activities. Activities are meant to be started, not instantiated like a plain old java object. Place the method elsewhere (in some other helper class) and have it take a Context as an argument (so you can get the SharedPreferences). Then, in any activity you can call that method. Also, you should probably make the method static.

  2. use like this

    YourActivtyClass activityclassobject = new YourActivtyClass();

    activityclassobject.activityclassmethod();


    use this in your non activity class

    which is called from another activity class...

    i hope you understand process to call method..
