How do I execute a class in another activity

Question

I'm trying to execute a class(GetDirecoes, which is in the MapsActivity) from another activity (DetailsActivity), the idea is, when I click in the floating action button (DetailsActivity) I execute that class (GetDirecoes) and then close my current activity (DetailsActivity), when I close this activity it will automatically open my parent activity (MapsActivity) which is where the method GetDirecoes is. I'm trying to execute the method with this:

new MapsActivity.GetDirecoes().execute(latRepr, lngRepr);

But it doesn't work giving me the error:

MapsActivity' is not an enclosing class

The correction that android studio offers me is to make GetDirecoes static, but I can't do that because if I do it the entire class breaks, here's the GetDirecoes class:

public class GetDirecoes extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> implements Serializable {

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(MapsActivity.this);
            pDialog.setMessage("Aguarde...");
            pDialog.setCancelable(false);
            pDialog.show();
        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
            HttpHandler sh = new HttpHandler();
            txtDistanciaTotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtDistanciaTotal);
            txtDuracaoTotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtDuracaoTotal);
            instrucoes = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Instrucoes);
            String url1 = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=";
            String url2 = "&destination=";
            String url3 = "&key=AIzaSyBh6tmMrC6QaHMJewFGvGc8xOjc0WMajxQ&language=pt";
            String latRepr = params[0];
            String lngRepr = params[1];
            final String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(url1 + mylatitude + "," + mylongitude + url2 + latRepr + "," + lngRepr + url3);
            Log.e(TAG, "Link: " + url1 + mylatitude + "," + mylongitude + url2 + latRepr + "," + lngRepr + url3);

            Log.e(TAG, "Resposta do URL: " + jsonStr);
            if (jsonStr != null) {
                try {
                    JSONObject root = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
                    JSONArray routes = root.optJSONArray("routes");
                    if (routes != null) {
                        JSONObject singleRout = (JSONObject) routes.get(0);
                        JSONArray legs = (JSONArray) singleRout.get("legs");
                        if (legs != null) {
                            JSONObject singleLeg = (JSONObject) legs.get(0);
                            //Distancia total
                            JSONObject distanceT = (JSONObject) singleLeg.get("distance");
                            if (distanceT != null) {
                                distT = distanceT.getString("text");

Answer 1

you can go through Call a Class From another class

private Activity activity;

you should initialize, activity

From another class, call it as :

((DetailsActivity) activity).refreshList(latRepr, lngRepr);

Now in, DetailsActivity.class you can do as,

public void refreshList(String latRepr, String lngRepr) {
      new GetDirecoes().execute(latRepr, lngRepr);
   }
