[android-developers] Re: Application context
If you want to call getApplicationContext in your Foo class, it better to pass Context reference as a parameter in method DoSomethingWithCurrentContext() or you can pass in constructor while instantiating the Foo class. I think there is no other way to access the context object.

There is no such thing as "current context", unless you track that yourself. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Application Context
Nope, there is no current context. You need to explicitly supply the context.
