getWindow() method not able to use

Question

I have created a lockscreen for ics which will replace the default lockscreen. In my code I want to use getWindow() method to set the "android:hardwareAccelerated" true for increasing the efficiency.

I don't have any activity in the LockScreen.java. So I am not able to use activity.getWindow(). I tried with context.getWindow() and this.getWindow() also. But still it shows error. How to use getWindow() method to get the Window object?

I think this is simply method you can call on Activity or class that extend it, because it belongs to it.. :S So either you need to be in activity or you need to pass that activity somehow. and I don't get it how you don't have any Activity?! You would need to have some in this case...

LockScreen is extending some class, no? Which one?
