Alert Dialog.Builder(??)

I am trying to make an alertdialog for when the user presses the cardview to delete it. This is in my ProductAdapter code

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(????);

what would I put in the brackets where I have the ???? I have looked at examples on this site and the ones I have seen have used ActivityName.this inside the brackets. However this code is in the ProductAdapter code and I can't use ProductAdapter.this. (my main activity is called create.java fyi)

So what would go in there? Thanks

update

public class ProductAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ProductAdapter.ProductViewHolder> {

    private Map<Integer, Integer> mSpinnerSelectedItem = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();





    //this context we will use to inflate the layout
    private Context mCtx;
    private SearchableSpinner spinner;

    //we are storing all the products in a list
    private List<Product> productList;

    private Activity create;

    public  ProductAdapter(Activity activity){
        create = activity;
    }






    //getting the context and product list with constructor
    public  ProductAdapter(Activity activity, List<Product> productList) {
        this.mCtx = mCtx;
        create = activity;
        this.productList = productList;

        //inflating and returning our view holder
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mCtx);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_products, null);
        return new ProductViewHolder(view);

Although AlertDialog.Builder() accepts a Context reference in its argument, it is better to pass an Activity reference to it, not applicationContext because of potential theme and window attachment problems. So, pass an Activity reference to your adapter and use it to build an AlertDialog.

public class ProductAdapter extends SomeAdapter {

    private Activity create;

    public  ProductAdapter(Activity activity, List<Product> productList) {
        create = activity;
        this.productList = productList;
    }

    private void showAlertDialog(){
        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(create);
        // ...
        alertDialogBuilder.create().show();
    }

}
