Using Intent from non-activity class

Question

I have three classes one main-activity(named MainMap), one non-activity class(named MyItemizedOverlay), and one activity class(named AudioStream). I want to start AudioStream activity from non-activity class but i don't know how to. i tried this is in third class(called MyItemizedOverlay):

            Intent myIntentA = new Intent(MainMap.this, AudioStream.class);
            myIntentA.putExtra(AUDIO_STREAM,AUDIO_STREAM_URL);
            MojProg.this.startActivity(myIntentA);

but it doesn't work, says: No enclosing instance of the type MainMap is accessible in scope

What should i do? What shoul i write instead of MainMap.this?

Hi Nikola,

This isn't so much an Android question as it is a Java question. Unless you were to make "MyItemizedOverlay" an inner class of "MainMap" (see http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=690545), what you really need is for MyItemizedOverlay to store an internal reference to the MainMap object that it wants to use for the inent.
