JAVA for Android: improper use of "this" constructor causing issues with external class method calls
<p>Here is my MainActivity.java file.  I use:</p>

<pre><code>  io login_io = new io(this);
</code></pre>

<p>To call my io.java class file.</p>

<p>What should I be using instead of 'this' for the second declaration? (commented out in code)</p>
