java - run startService in static method -

i have function static method:

    public static void engine(sqlitedatabase mydb){         intent intent = new intent(context, gpslocation.class);         intent.putextra("sql_obj", mydb);          startservice(intent);     } 

but startservice return follow error:

cannot make static reference non-static method startservice(intent) type contextwrapper

is there way startservice in static method?

looks you've got reference context class via context variable (since using create intent intent intent = new intent(context, gpslocation.class);), can start static context in following way:

context.startservice(intent)
