Android- cant get String from Resources for Static field- Non-static Method getResources cannot be referenced from a static-context"

Issue

I passed images and text in Grid view with launcherIcons class. As the below codes, works fine. But I want to change the String as

new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher,getResources().getString(R.string.hello))

I want to get string from Resources(R.string.hello) and when implement getResources warning "Non-static Method getResources cannot be referenced from a static-context"

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {
    String Activity="MainActivity";
    Context activity_context=MainActivity.this;
    static final LauncherIcon[] ICONS = {
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher,"Hello"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "About me"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Venky"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Noctilien"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Metro"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "RER"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Bus"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Metro"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "RER"),
            new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Bus"),

    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  //blah blah.............


}

LauncherIcon Class

   static class LauncherIcon {
        final String text;
        final int imgId;
        //final String map;

        public LauncherIcon(int imgId, String text) {
            super();
            this.imgId = imgId;
            this.text = text;
          //  this.map = map;
        }

    }

How to use getResources String in there? Thanks in Advance.

Solution

The things I'd change is remove the static in your LauncherIcon class, and it could be like this :

public class LauncherIcon {
final String text;
final int imgId;
    public LauncherIcon(int imgId, String text) {
        super();
        this.imgId = imgId;
        this.text = text;
    }
}

Then you create the array of LauncherIcons without static as follows :

LauncherIcon[] ICONS = {
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher,"Hello"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "About me"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Venky"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Noctilien"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Metro"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "RER"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Bus"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Metro"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "RER"),
        new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Bus"),

};

I passed images and text in Grid view with launcherIcons class. As the below codes, works fine. But I want to change the String as :

new LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher,getResources().getString(R.string.hello));

If you get error doing this, you can call it doing (the first way if you change it as my answer should work):

LauncherIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, YOURCONTEXT.getResources().getString(R.string.hello));
