Android Studio private function Error ActivityCompat

Question

Dear SoloLearn Community

I develope an android app with a request record audio permission function which should be activated on an button click. Yet, I simply made a function which checks, if the user has the permission.

private fun hasRecordAudioPermission() = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)

Here is the error I got:
'this' is not defined in this context.

I don't know what to do now. Please, can you help me? Thank you.

Answer 1

Gabriel ,
You are defining that function `hasRecordAudioPermission()` outside class.

Move the function inside class and see if it works. *fingers crossed*

Answer 2

Gabriel ,
Great! I was writing code to show you but you already fixed it 😁😁

Answer 3

Gabriel ,
not an expert in Android but maybe I can help 😬

Can you please provide complete code from that file? Post it in playground and share a link here. With given code I can't see what `this` might be refering to in that context.
