attached a special IntentFilter to an Activity named A, which enables this

is not my exact use case. I need to get an i18n string, because I want
to prepare the computation of a string (imagine that the string

If you implement "Fragment.getContext()" the following way, I think
that it works:
public final Fragment.getContext()
{
if (isDetached() == true)
{
if (getView() == null)
{
throw new IllegalStateException("...");
}
return getView().getContext()";
}

Thank you Mark.
Yes sure, this is a way to address this issue. But if the i18n string
I need to get depends on the result of a web service call, this means
that I need to provide all i18n strings at AsyncTask build time. And
if I need to use the "getString(int resourceId, ...)" form? In that
case,
Hello.
With the Fragment API, the easy and straightforward way to access to
the i18n is to use the "Fragment.getString(int resId)" method.
Unfortunately, the implementation resorts to the underlying attached
Activity, which is only available between the
"Fragment.onAttach(Activity activity)" and t

Thank you Boston.
As I stated, I cannot use lazy instantiation, because this
initialization starts up things which is time-dependent, and hence
that need to be started as soon as the process starts.
Otherwise, yes, I would definitively chose this option.

Thank you Mark.
However, you still do not answer my question, and this coding design
pattern does not help in that specific situation. I do not need a work-

Hello Doug and thank you.
The process id does not indicate the Android declared process in the
AndroidManifest.xml file, unfortunately. What I need to know is the
"android:process" which causes the process to start. If I declare a
service in the manifest with a specific process name (tag

Maybe my question was not clear. Is it possible with the

system? Where should it be unpacked:

Thank you for the information.
I was mislead because the Android built-in ring tones under 'system/
media/audio/ringtones' seem to loop when played. Yes, the idea of
scheduling an alert for cancelling the notification is a solution, if
the sound is looping.
