Question

I am programming an an android app.

I have a class that extends Application called ApplicationContext

when I make this call it blows up with a class cast execption

ApplicationContext appContext = (ApplicationContext) getApplicationContext();

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Thanks

I don’t believe Android’s ApplicationContext class is even public, I believe it’s an abstract class private to Android SDK classes.

Also, you wouldn’t be able to assign a Context to an extended Application class. You’ll have to extend Context.
