Unable to initialise interface using BroadcastReceiver context in Android

Question

I have a broadcast receiver as below

Test1.java

public class Test1 extends BroadcastReceiver implements Test2.Interfacetest {

    private Test2 test2;

   @Override
   public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
       test2 = new Test2(context);
   }

   @Override
   public void interfaceTestMethod() {
        //code
   }

    /*
        Remaining code
    */

}

And have another class

Test2.java

public class Test2 {

    private Interfacetest InterfacetestCommander;

    public interface Interfacetest {
        void interfaceTestMethod();
    }

    public Test2(Context context) {
        InterfacetestCommander = (Interfacetest) context;

        InterfacetestCommander.interfaceTestMethod();
    }

    /*
        Remaining code
    */
}

When i try to initialise interface using broadcast receiver context, it gives following error

Process: in.ijasnahamed.interfaceTester, PID: 4452
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver in.ijasnahamed.interfaceTester.Test1: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.Application cannot be cast to in.ijasnahamed.interfaceTester.Test2$interfaceTestMethod

I need to know can an interface be initialized using broadcast receiver context? If yes, please tell me how?

NB : My real code is little bit longer. So i just showed revelant code here with some simple classes and method names.

Answer 1

You shouldn't use

test2 = new Test2(context);

Because context is an instance of Context ,but Context doesn't implement your interface,your Test1 class implement this interface,So you can add a parameter for your Test2 class like this:

public Test2(Context context, Interfacetest interfacetest) {
    this.mContext =  context;  //if you don't need the context,just ignore it 
    this.InterfacetestCommander = interfacetest
}

and change

test2 = new Test2(context);

to

test2 = new Test2(context,this);
