You are right Bob, but it's a little bit more complex. You can explain this in two words or write a paragraph. I decided half the info is better than the complete one. You know, a simple question deserves a simple solution. For more info, refer to the documentation :)
Anyway, the best solution would be to use the view.getContext IMO. If you hardcode the "this" to the OuterClass then it's not really portable. Also having globals that carry the Context is a nono that should be avoided if possible. But alas, it's all about the damn context - no pun intended.
