I suppose that is true. Though IMO a Context is not something that should be stored in an object that outlives an Activity or Service. If you need a Context, one is usually readily available wherever you happen to be and can be passed as a parameter. Do you have a good example of when storing a Context like this is a good idea? I'm just curious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
