Android - Error with getApplicationContext

I'm trying to make an arraylist so then I can randomly pick a string from a list. I visited this question and on this question there was the perfect answer for what I wanted to do. Although on this piece of code: 

String[] colorsTxt = getApplicationContext().getResources().getStringArray(R.array.colors);
    List<Integer> colors = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    for (int i = 0; i < colorsTxt.length; i++) {
        int newColor = Color.parseColor(colorsTxt[i]);
        colors.add(newColor);
    }

I can't find why getApplicationContext gives me an error, someone has an idea?

Thanks

Because you said you are using it in a fragment, you need to call getActivity().getResources()... to access it :).
