Mismatched type on "this" in kotlin

Issue

Im trying to get data from an api, and im running into an error on this line val queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this@MainActivity) The error says "Type mismatch: inferred type is Home but Context! was expected" I have tried changing "this" to "this@MainActivity", However this just made Main Activity go red and when i hover over it, it says unresolved reference My whole code is below, thanks for any help in advance
