Static way to get 'Context' in Android?

android, android-context

Solution

Do this:

In the Android Manifest file, declare the following.

<application android:name="com.xyz.MyApplication">

</application>

Then write the class:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

    private static Context context;

    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        MyApplication.context = getApplicationContext();
    }

    public static Context getAppContext() {
        return MyApplication.context;
    }
}

Now everywhere call `MyApplication.getAppContext()` to get your application context statically.

Problem

Is there a way to get the current `Context` instance inside a static method? I'm looking for that way because I hate saving the 'Context' instance each time it changes.
