getResources from non-activity (regular) class

[ibrahim yener]

Today, i faced new weird problem.

i am making an application which has 10 Activity in it, and i want to set background image to all.
So the problem is, i do not want to write same code 10 times for each activity.

Instead doing that i create a regular class and add background creation codes in it
there the problems start.

If i write code inside of each activity then works perfect but not from other class.

I have tried many different ways but no luck, seems my background class does not get setting class resource.

How can i solve this?

Regards


Settings class

public class Preference extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{
...
	@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
	private void setBackground()
	{
		LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.settings_bg);
		ll.setBackgroundDrawable(new DrawBackground(backGround, getApplicationContext()).startDraw());
	}

...
}

and DrawBackground class

package utils;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Shader;
import android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable;

import com.sniperscope.chrono.R;

public class DrawBackground
{
	private int				id	= 1;
	private BitmapDrawable	bg;
	private Context			context;

	public DrawBackground(int id, Context context)
	{
		this.id 	 = id;
		this.context = context;
	}

	public BitmapDrawable startDraw()
	{
		switch (id)
		{
			case 1 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_white);
				break;
			case 2 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_diamonds);
				break;
			case 3 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_fiberglass);
				break;
			case 4 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_net);
				break;
			case 5 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_flowers);
				break;
			case 6 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_dots);
				break;
			case 7 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_polkadots);
				break;
			case 8 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_retro);
				break;
			case 9 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_flower);
				break;
			case 10 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_steel);
				break;
			case 11 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_strawberry);
				break;
			case 12 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_stripes);
				break;
			case 13 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_square);
				break;
			case 14 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_tissue);
				break;
			case 15 :
				bg = (BitmapDrawable) context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_bridge);
				break;
		}

		bg.setTileModeXY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT, Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);

		return bg;
	}
}

I have just checked context object by log.i and this is the result.

context settings (this) android.app.Application@2afce658
context settings (non) android.app.Application@2afce658
context bgclass android.app.Application@2afce658

seems background class getting correct object but don't know why
background is not tiling.
