How do I pass reference to Activity for ActionBarDrawerToggle?

Question

I am trying to use Square's Mortar and Flow

The problem is: ActionBarDrawerToggle from support-v7 requires to have a reference to the Activity

However view.getContext() returns PathContext so i get

ClassCastException: flow.path.PathContext cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

So how do I get reference to activity?

Try to use getBaseContext() method of ContextWrapper class that is superclass of PathContext.

Thanks for the answer. Спасибо! I've managed to find my activity like this: ((PathContext) ctx).getBaseContext().getBaseContext().getBaseContext().getBaseContext() But It does not look like good solution ;( – Korniltsev Anatoly Apr 27 '15 at 16:48
@KorniltsevAnatoly My answer has the official Google docs. Read the docs. If you are using an `Activity` all you need is `this`. – Jared Burrows Apr 27 '15 at 16:50
@JaredBurrows I do not use activity or fragment. I've updated my question to mention it. – Korniltsev Anatoly Apr 27 '15 at 16:57
@KorniltsevAnatoly You down vote me then update your question. That's really counter intuitive. – Jared Burrows Apr 27 '15 at 17:00
@JaredBurrows Yes, my fault. – Korniltsev Anatoly Apr 27 '15 at 17:06
