How to get the Context from anywhere? [duplicate]

by

The easiest (and correct) way is:

Define a new class

public class MyApp extends Application {
    private static MyApp instance;

    public static MyApp getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }

    public static Context getContext(){
        return instance;
        // or return instance.getApplicationContext();
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        instance = this;
        super.onCreate();
    }
}

Then in your manifest you need to add this class to the “Name” field at the “Application” tab. Or edit the xml and put

<application
    android:name="com.example.app.MyApp"
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    .......
    <activity
        ......

and then from anywhere you can call

MyApp.getContext();
