Not able to initialize object of DBHelper class which extends SqliteOpenHelper in a fragment as it takes context as arguement.

[shikhrsngh9044]

Helper.kt->

class Helper(context: Context) : SQLiteOpenHelper(context, DBNAME, null, DBVERSION) {

    companion object {
        private val DBNAME = "myDb"
        private val DBVERSION = 1
    }

-->this class will take context argument but in fragment it is showing error for "context","activity","this".. i have tried all the things but not be able to resolve the error

HomeFragment.kt->

class HomeFragment : Fragment() {

    companion object {
        const val KEY = "data"
    }

    val helper = Helper(context)  //getting error-> Required:Context , Found:Context?

I had the same problem as you. the solution is using magic variable: ctx. I called it "magic", because I dont know where it came from. It is a context, enough to initialize the db helper
