Launch Android activity from non-activity class

I'm using a third-party application that just launches a class that extends another normal class. So, from that class I would like to launch an activity:

public class SkyTest extends VtiUserExit {


    @Override
    public VtiUserExitResult execute() throws VtiExitException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        logInfo("TEST");

    return null;
    }

}

How do I launch an activity named MainActivity from here?

I tried this:

Context context = null;
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        context.startActivity(intent);

but it's not working. I know I can't use the null context, but how do I create a context so it works?

A null context doesn't work because Android needs that Application Context in order to find your Activity. I don't know which framework you are using, but you should look for a way to grab a reference to the Context, have you gone through the API for the class you're extending?
