Passing getActivity() with ActionBarActivity

I have created my own search view as below

public class MySearchView extends SearchView {

    public MySearchView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    // The normal SearchView doesn't clear its search text when
    // collapsed, so we will do this for it.
    @Override
    public void onActionViewCollapsed() {
        setQuery("", false);
        super.onActionViewCollapsed();
    }
}

When i have to create an item of this search View i must pass the context like getActivity()

But since ActionBarActivity does not have getActivity(), what should I pass

Inside the ActionBarActivity extended class, you can access the context by calling the method: getApplicationContext().

Hope this helps! Nick
