Json Parsing in list view

Question

I'm a beginner . I tried to implement listview in a fragment which data is parsed from json, I'm running in to error

Error is.

Error:(119, 22) error: no suitable constructor found for   ProgressDialog(My_Actor)
constructor ProgressDialog.ProgressDialog(Context,int) is not applicable
(actual and formal argument lists differ in length)
constructor ProgressDialog.ProgressDialog(Context) is not applicable
(actual argument My_Actor cannot be converted to Context by method invocation conversion)

Up to my level I don't find anything error here. Please help me out.

MainActivity.java

 @Override
    public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
        // update the main content by replacing fragments

        Fragment newFragment = null;

        switch (position){

            case 0:
                newFragment = new My_Actors();
                break;
            case 1:
                newFragment = new My_Editors();
                break;
        }
        if(newFragment!=null) {
            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
            fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.container, newFragment)
                    .commit();

Error:(119, 22) error: no suitable constructor found for
ProgressDialog(My_Actor) constructor ProgressDialog.ProgressDialog(Context,int) is not applicable (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) constructor ProgressDialog.ProgressDialog(Context) is not applicable (actual argument My_Actor cannot be converted to Context by method invocation conversion)

It is clearly says that you have to pass a context and Deal_featured.this is not a context. So instead of

dialog = new ProgressDialog(Deal_featured.this);

You have to use

dialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());

getActivity() return the context of this fragment's parent Activity.

Thank you. Your answer gave me a life. before that I'm unaware of context. Working fine now.

glad to know :) instead of using getActivity().getBaseContext() use getActivity() only. See this SO Thread for more info difference-between-getcontext-getapplicationcontext-getbasecontext
