GestureDetector Deprecated Issue

Question

I have this code

itemizedOverlay = new MyItemizedOverlay(drawable,this);
itemizedOverlay.setGestureDetector(new GestureDetector(new MyGestureDetecor()));

but new GestureDetector is marked as Deprecated in Eclipse.

I want to avoid the use of deprecated methods.

How could I fix this problem?

What is the non-deprecated form?

Answer 1

Choose one of the other constructors. There are five defined constructors on GestureDetector. Two -- the ones not including a Context as the first parameter -- are marked as deprecated. You are using one of those.

@Trumpet what should I pass as context? – Rabush

@ThEuSeFuL: I would assume that your Activity is handy and a likely candidate. – Trumpet

@Trumpet I just figured it out and now its working I think. Used getBaseContext() – Rabush

Answer 2

There are just two deprecated constructors. If you add the context to GestureDetector(context, listener) it's not deprecated.

how do i get context in class gesture detector – Medovich

@Sridhar There are several ways. Activity inherits from Context, so you can use this inside an Activity, or maybe you can use getApplicationContext(). See also the comments to @CommonsWare's answer. – Heavyhearted

Answer 3

1 try add Context to your method: `

itemizedOverlay = new MyItemizedOverlay(drawable,this); itemizedOverlay.setGestureDetector(Context context new GestureDetector(new MyGestureDetecor()));`

2 if you already have call to class Context in your method try:

itemizedOverlay = new MyItemizedOverlay(drawable,this); itemizedOverlay.setGestureDetector(new GestureDetector(context new MyGestureDetecor()));
