How can I use getSystemService in a non-activity class (LocationManager)?
<p>I'm having trouble offloading tasks from the main Activities OnCreate method onto another class to do the heavy lifting.</p>

<p>When I try to call getSystemService from the non-Activity class an exception is thrown.</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>lmt.java:</p>

<pre><code>package com.atClass.lmt;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.location.Location;

public class lmt extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        fyl lfyl = new fyl();
        Location location = lfyl.getLocation();
        String latLongString = lfyl.updateWithNewLocation(location);

        TextView myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText);
        myLocationText.setText("Your current position is:\n" + latLongString);
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>fyl.java</p>

<pre><code>package com.atClass.lmt;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.content.Context;

public class fyl {
    public Location getLocation(){
        LocationManager locationManager;
        String context = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE;
        locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(context);

        String provider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

        return location;
    }

    public String updateWithNewLocation(Location location) {
        String latLongString;

        if (location != null){
            double lat = location.getLatitude();
            double lng = location.getLongitude();
            latLongString = "Lat:" + lat + "\nLong:" + lng;
        }else{
            latLongString = "No Location";
        }

        return latLongString;
    }
}
