Static way to get 'Context' in Android?

Question

Is there a way to get the current Context instance inside a static method?

I\'m looking for that way because I hate saving the \'Context\' instance eac

According to this source you can obtain your own Context by extending ContextWrapper

public class SomeClass extends ContextWrapper {

    public SomeClass(Context base) {
      super(base);
    }

    public void someMethod() {
        // notice how I can use "this" for Context
        // this works because this class has it's own Context just like an Activity or Service
        startActivity(this, SomeRealActivity.class);

        //would require context too
        File cacheDir = getCacheDir();
    }
}

JavaDoc for ContextWrapper

Proxying implementation of Context that simply delegates all of its calls to another Context. Can be subclassed to modify behavior without changing the original Context.
