Non-static field mFirebaseAnalytics can not be referenced from a static context

Question

I am using Buildbox. I defined a custom openURL method in Buildbox. I am trying to track worlds with events. How can I reach non-static mFirebaseAnalytics instance in static method?

import com.google.firebase.analytics.FirebaseAnalytics;

import android.app.Activity;


public class PTServicesBridge extends Activity
    implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

    private FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);
    }


    public static void openUrl( String url ){
        Log.v(TAG, "PTServicesBridge  -- Open URL " + url);

        PTServicesBridge.urlString = url;

        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("levelname", url);
        mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("levels", params); //Problematic line it gives error.



    }


}

Problematic line:

 mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("levels", params); //Problematic line it gives error.

I just dig up the buildbox code, Here is how you can achieve your task!

Use PTServicesBridge.s_activity to get FirebaseAnalytics instance inside the method.

public static void openUrl( String url ){
        Log.v(TAG, "PTServicesBridge  -- Open URL " + url);

        PTServicesBridge.urlString = url;

        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("levelname", url);

        // Get FirebaseAnalytics Object
        FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(PTServicesBridge.activity);
        mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("levels", params); //Problematic line it gives error.
}
