findViewById inside a Static Method

Solution
One thing you can do is make the view a class wide variable and use that. I dont actually recommend doing that but it will work if you need something quick and dirty.
Passing in the view as a parameter would be the preferred way
Problem
I have this static method: ``` public static void displayLevelUp(int level, Context context) { LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_level_coast, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout_root)); // this row TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.toastText); text.setText("This is a custom toast"); Toast toast = new Toast(context); toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0); toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG); toast.setView(layout); toast.show(); Toast.makeText(context, String.valueOf(level), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); } ``` However, I can't figure out how to get the first`findViewById` to play nice with this as it says it is a non-static method. I understand why it says that, but there must be a workaround? I passed `context` into this method but couldn't work them out together.
