using a string resource in a Toast

Question

My code is:

public static void ToastMemoryShort (Context context) {
    CharSequence text = getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort); //error here
    Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return;
    }

but I'm getting "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getString(int) from the type Context" in Eclipse. I'm trying to get ready for localising my app (getting all the hard coded strings into resources), so where I have:

getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort)

I previously had a hard coded string which was fine.

I'm not sure what's going on here (Java noob). Can anyone enlighten me please?

Many thanks

Change to

 public static void ToastMemoryShort (Context context) {

        Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.toast_memoryshort), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return;
        }
