"test.buildObjects ()", means "call the instance method buildObjects
on the instance test".  

In this context, "getActivity ()" means "call the static
method getActivity on the class testactivities".  It's a static method
you're calling because its caller `main' is a static method, i.e. one
that can be called on a class.  The data a static method can directly
modify are static fields (class data), not instance variables.
