getActivity() inside viewholder

Question

I have created a Recyclerview, with itemobjects, Adapter, viewholder and activity.

The Recyclerview works fine.

My problem is when an item is clicked from Recyclerview, I want to direct the user to TicketDetails activity.

I have the code to get the clicked item and its position in the view holder, but when I try to create a new intent to new activity like this inside view holder

startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), TicketDetails.class));

I am unable to resolve getActivity()

ViewHolder

public class TicketsRecyclerViewHolders extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{

    public ImageView priority;
    public TextView sts_open;
    public TextView sts_overdue;
    public TextView tkt_from;
    public TextView tkt_subject;
    public TextView tkt_assignedto;
    public TextView tkt_created_date;
    public TextView txt_ticket_id;

    private SparseBooleanArray selectedItems = new SparseBooleanArray();

    public TicketsRecyclerViewHolders(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);

        priority = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.priority_status_icon);
        sts_open= (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_opn_status);
        sts_overdue = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_overdue);
        tkt_from = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_from);
        tkt_subject = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_subject);
        tkt_assignedto = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_Assignedto);
        tkt_created_date = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_Created_date);
        txt_ticket_id = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_Tk_TicketID);

    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        int position = getAdapterPosition();
        String ticket_id = txt_ticket_id.getText().toString();
        Log.d("ZD-clicked : ", "Position => "+String.valueOf(position)+", Ticket Id => "+ticket_id);

        startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), TicketDetails.class));

//        if (selectedItems.get(getAdapterPosition(), false)) {
//            selectedItems.delete(getAdapterPosition());
//            view.setSelected(false);
//        }
//        else {
//            selectedItems.put(getAdapterPosition(), true);
//            view.setSelected(true);
//        }
    }
}

Adapter

public class TicketsRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<TicketsRecyclerViewHolders>{

    public List<TicketsItemObject> TicketsItemList;
    private Context context;


    public TicketsRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, List<TicketsItemObject> itemList) {
        this.TicketsItemList = itemList;
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public TicketsRecyclerViewHolders onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View layoutView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.custom_tickets_row, null);
        TicketsRecyclerViewHolders rcv = new TicketsRecyclerViewHolders(layoutView);
        return rcv;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(TicketsRecyclerViewHolders holder, int position) {

            holder.priority.setImageResource(TicketsItemList.get(position).getStatus_priority());
            holder.sts_open.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getStatus_open());
            holder.sts_overdue.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getStatus_overdue());
            holder.tkt_from.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getTicket_from());
            holder.tkt_subject.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getTicket_subject());
            holder.tkt_assignedto.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getTicket_assignedto());
            holder.tkt_created_date.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getTicket_created_date());
            holder.txt_ticket_id.setText(TicketsItemList.get(position).getTicket_id());
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return this.TicketsItemList.size();
    }
}

Item Object

public class TicketsItemObject {
    private int status_priority;
    private String status_open;
    private String status_overdue;
    private String ticket_from;
    private String ticket_subject;

    }

    public int getStatus_priority() {

    }

    public String getStatus_open() {
        return status_open;
    }

    public String getStatus_overdue() {

    }

    public String getTicket_from() {

Answer 1

getActivity() only works in fragments. A view will have activity Context. So get Context from the view.

Change

startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), TicketDetails.class));

to

Context context = view.getContext();
context.startActivity(new Intent(context, TicketDetails.class));
