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

Answer 1

I use a variation of the Singleton design pattern to help me with this.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;

public class ApplicationContextSingleton {
    private static Activity gContext;

    public static void setContext( Activity activity) {
        gContext = activity;
    }

    public static Activity getActivity() {
        return gContext;
    }

    public static Context getContext() {
        return gContext;
    }
}

I then call ApplicationContextSingleton.setContext( this ); in my activity.onCreate() and ApplicationContextSingleton.setContext( null ); in onDestroy();
