Using context in a fragment

Question

How can I get the context in a fragment?

I need to use my database whose constructor takes in the context, but getApplicationContext() and Fragmen

Answer 1

Always use the getActivity() method to get the context of your attached activity, but always remember one thing: Fragments are slightly unstable and getActivity returns null some times, so for that, always check the isAdded() method of fragment before getting context by getActivity().

Answer 2

Since API level 23 there is getContext() but if you want to support older versions you can use getActivity().getApplicationContext() while I still recommend using the support version of Fragment which is android.support.v4.app.Fragment.

Answer 3

I think you can use

public static class MyFragment extends Fragment {
  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

      Context context = getActivity.getContext();

  }
}

Answer 4

You can use getActivity() method to get context or You can use getContext() method .

 View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_slideshow, container, false);
    Context c = root.getContext();

I hope it helps!

Answer 5

Another alternative approach is:

You can get the context using:

getActivity().getApplicationContext();

Answer 6

getActivity() is a child of Context so that should work for you
