Its really not android specific, just best practices when dealing with synchronized access to singleton objects.
Dianne, thanks for the example but maybe I misunderstood Mark's post about static holders and Contexts. I thought he meant, and I was seeking an example where the Context itself is the singleton which, except for eg. an Application context doesn't seem to make much sense. But I don't do much with services so maybe I'm missing some common patterns in Android. Good thread nonetheless. New programmers thrust into a multithreaded framework should at least know that synchronization is critical. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
