getActivity() where it is defined?

Question

I\'m very new to android and I\'m following this example.

The code says we need to do these steps to get an dialog box:

AlertDialog.Builder builder =         


        

Answer 1

The constructor AlertDialog.Builder expects a Context parameter. Context is accessible from Activity, Service etc, since they all extend Context, and can be passed as this.

The method getActivity() is declared as others have mentiond in the Fragment class.
