custom listview on fragment - can't use getActivity()

Question

I am trying to add delete button next to my item details basing on this answer. I tried it on a new project, it works perefect:

and when I click delete, I delete the item.

sadly, I tried to use it in my own project when my listView is in calendar_tab.xml. calendar_tab uses CompactCalendarTab.java - fragment class. so Android Studio errored: E:\Downloads\MyCustomAdapter.java

Error:(49, 63) error: cannot find symbol method getSystemService(String)

I tried to change

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

to

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

but with no luck.

custom_listview.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

my fragment:

    bookingsListView.setAdapter(adapter);
    compactCalendarView = (CompactCalendarView) 
    v.findViewById(R.id.compactcalendar_view);
    }

my custom adapter:

public class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements ListAdapter {
private ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
private CompactCalendarTab context;



public MyCustomAdapter(ArrayList<String> list, CompactCalendarTab context) {
    this.list = list;
    this.context = context;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return list.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int pos) {
    return list.get(pos);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int pos) {
    return 0;
    //just return 0 if your list items do not have an Id variable.
}

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = convertView;
    if (view == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_listview, null);
    }

    //Handle TextView and display string from your list
    TextView listItemText = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_string);
    listItemText.setText(list.get(position));

    //Handle buttons and add onClickListeners
    Button deleteBtn = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.delete_btn);

    deleteBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

            notifyDataSetChanged();

    return view;

Change this line

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

To this

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
