View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Get An Application Context Into A Static Method
May 7, 2010I'm working on an Android application that has several Activities. In it I have a class with several static methods. I would like to be able to call these methods from the different Activities. I'm using the static methods to load data from an xml file via a XmlResourceParser. To create a XmlResourceParser requires a call on the Application Context. So my question is, what is the best way to get a reference to the Application Context into the static methods? Have each Activity get it and pass it in? Store it somehow in a global variable?

Jan 21, 2010How can I launch a contextmenu from a contextmenu? I'm trying to replicate the MediaPlayer action that happens when you long click a song, then click "Add to playlist" in the resulting contextmenu. When you click that menu item, another contextmenu pops up with "Add to playlist" as the title, and "Current playlist", "New", and however-many-playlists-you-have defined after that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Does An App Only Have One Context Object
Jul 19, 2010I'm confused about the concept of the Context class. I see that it's a base class of Activity, but the Android docs also mentions the Context storing global information about the app environment. So in my app which has 3 activities, does that mean I have 3 distinct Context objects, or do they actually refer to 1 entity? Also, what is the lifetime of a Context object- does it live until the last component of this activity's process is garbage collected?

Nov 24, 2010i have got a stupid question to ask. I created a custom ContextMenu. But when i call the menu, the menu displayed will also have the default menu added in.

May 15, 2009When you are developing on an application level(Services, Activities) you always get this Context reference automatically. But what if I am on a lower level and developing a program started with app_process, how can I get hold of a Context then? Its a huge part of the API that need this context. What the proper way to create a Context instance?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Singleton Object With Context?
Oct 10, 2010I often run into the following dilemma: I need some singleton-like object in my app (typically some central manager-like thing) and this object needs a context for various things. This means that I either have to pass a context to all methods needing one or have some sort of init-pattern to the object. Neither is pretty I think. What is the correct way of doing this? Or is this simply (even the definition of) a Service?
View 15 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Singleton Wrapper For Context
May 3, 2010I'm considering creating a singleton wrapper for a Context so my model objects, if necessary, can open and read from a database connection. My model objects do not have access to a Context, and I'd like to avoid needing to pass a reference to a Context from object to object.I was planning to place into this singleton a reference to the Context returned by Application.getApplicationContext(). This singleton object would be initialized in my custom Application instance before anything else would need to or have a chance to use it.Can anyone think of a reason to not do this?

Apr 20, 2010I have a ListView with a ContextMenu, it has one CheckBox (the CheckBox has android:focusable="false") and one TextView per row, but you can hide the TextView in the preferences menu. After doing that, the CheckBox wasn't registering the ContextMenu, so of course, why not register For Context Menu(cb) and unregisterForContextMenu(getListView())? Yes, i did that, but then, when when i call the delete command of onContextItemSelected, the app crashs. AdapterContextMenuInfo info=(AdapterContextMenuInfo)item.getMenuInfo(); db.deletarTarefa(info.id);
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Get Calling Context In Service
Aug 30, 2010So I'm working on a service that will handle requests to send data to a socket.I've done socket programming in a service before, but only within the same application. I'd like this to just sit and do nothing until any application wants to give it data to send. That's all well and good.I have register an intent filter and the usual stuff and can process the data. But I want to process the data coming from different activities in different threads (subsequent calls from the same application will be computed on the same thread).Is there a way to get the calling package or app or whatever? I'd prefer not to require passing in an identifier as an extra to prevent spoofing. (It's not a serious security concern, it's just each application needs its data processed in the order that it's received.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Static Context Access
Feb 15, 2010I'm trying to handle exceptions at a global level. My understanding is that the only way to do this is with an UncaughtExceptionHandler. However, this reduces one to the primitive java file and network i/o packages. I'd like to be able to broadcast an intent or bind to a service. Is there some way to interact with the android packages to retrieve a context in a static manner? I could probably do some hack workaround with a thread local, weak-referenced context set at the time of the exception handler, but I'd rather avoid that nastiness.

Android :: Want To Set Up A Context Menu In An AlertDialog?
Nov 13, 2010I've been working at this all day, and I'm really close but just can't get this to work. I have a button that pulls up an AlertDialog populated with saved entries that include Name and Price. Right now, I can click an item in the Dialog and have it automatically fill in the Name and Price fields in my activity. I want to also be able to long press an item and receive an option to delete it. This is my first try at an Android app, and a lot of this is repurposed from the Notepad Tutorial. Two things I can't figure out:
1) Is my registerForContextMenu sufficient/correct?
2) What am I doing wrong with my onCreateContextMenu? Code...

Android :: SQLiteOpenHelper Without Or Less Restrictive Use Of Context?
May 21, 2010If you extend SQLiteOpenHelper, for the Constructor you have to use a Context. I am wondering if there is a way to leave this out, and be able to work with database tables without a Context.
Or at least be least restrictive, I mean a way of project/class structure that will make history the several context passings I have to do now.
As it is my application has several level of classes, chained in each other, and there are a few that connects to the database, but have no whatsoever influence on the interface, so they don't actually need the Context.
Are you creating your classes in the way that you pass each time a Context to them?
If not, how you do, how you reuse a Context in a short class?
