How to show Dialog from a static method

Question

In my game, which is done for both Android and IOS using `cocos2dx`, I have to show video(for Android). I am planning to show it in Dialog(on top of game view). Problem is that, I don't have any Activity referenced to show Dialog(as Dialogs can only be shown in Activities). Even though, In cocos2dx lib folder, there is a `Cocos2dxActivity` but I am not getting how to make use of it. From C++ code, I am calling a static method from Java class as below ``` void LMJNICommunicator::showVideo() { LOGD("initialiseDatabase inside LMJNICommunicator"); jmethodID methodID = 0; JNIEnv *pEnv = 0; pEnv = getJNIEnv(); jclass ret = pEnv->FindClass("com/mobinius/lostmonstersclass/LMDatabaseDataManager"); methodID = pEnv->GetStaticMethodID(ret, "showVideo", "()V"); if (! methodID) { LOGD("Failed to find static method id of %s", "showVideo"); return; } pEnv->CallStaticVoidMethod(ret,methodID); pEnv->DeleteLocalRef(ret); } ``` Static method(which is in normal Java class) which I am calling from C++ code…

Accepted Answer

Try adding the appropriate lines in Cocos2dxActivity:

```
public class Cocos2dxActivity extends Activity {
    private static Cocos2dxActivity instance = null;
   @Override public void onCreate(Bundle b) {
     ...
     this.instance = this;
     }

public static Cocos2dxActivity getInstance() {
        return instance;
     }

}
```

When you want to create your dialog:

```
if (Cocos2dxActivity.getInstance() != null)  {
    AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog(Cocos2dxActivity.getInstance());
    // rest of your dialog code goes here
}
```
