I have created one class that is extending Application class and using the static method to expose the contexts as follows. moreover i am using many util methods like checking internet connections e.c.t into this class.

Problem is i am not sure

  1. how safe is to use following method to expose the application level context

  2. would this create any memory leaks when i will use App.getAppContext() method

    public class App extends Application {        

private static Context mContext;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mContext = this.getApplicationContext();
}

public static Context getAppContext() {

return mContext;
}

    }

  • according to that question `Context.getApplicationContext()` can be used but its not available – Hunt Nov 18 '16 at 10:18

  • It's safe to a certain degree, except `android:process=":remote"` makes a second process, which results in a second Application instance. – EpicPandaForce Nov 19 '16 at 12:44
