Constructor refers to missing type context

I have written a class with the following constructor

public CustomDialog(Context context)

But when I try to do this in my activity

CustomDialog diag = new CustomDialog(getApplicationContext()){/*stuff here*/};

I get the error The constructor CustomDialog(Context) refers to the missing type Context

What does this mean? And how do I fix it?

I fixed it by adding some code and then removing it again. For example, add an empty statement and then remove it. Eclipse should check for errors again and not find your error.

First you should fix all other errors in your code than you should repeat Project -> Clean in Eclipse to see if the error was fixed.

In case anyone else had this issue: I had the same problem with some code that called a method from the Play Licensing library. I fixed it by using Project > Clean on Play Licensing project (as opposed to the project where the error was showing up).

What does this mean?

AFAIK, either:

  • You are missing the import android.content.Context, or

  • Your project is messed up, and the compiler cannot find android.content.Context in your build path
