Question

I am using AsyncTask and want to use getApplication() to work with class Application.
But gets error on getApplication() cannot find symbol.

my code:

public class  splash extends AsyncTask {
  protected config app;
  public  splash(Context context) {
  super();
  app = ((config) getApplication());
  this.context=context;
}

and the class that I want to use:

public class config extends Application
{
  public Boolean  con=true;
  public int status=-1;
  public String actNum; 
  public void onCreate()
  {
    super.onCreate();
  }
}

If you want to get the Application instance, you can initialize a member in onCreate() with it and have it returned by a class method:

public class ApplicationConfig extends Application {

  private static ApplicationConfig instance;

  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    instance = this;
  }

  public static ApplicationConfig getConfig() {
    return instance;
  }
}

Then you can retrieve this instance everywhere via:

ApplicationConfig conf = ApplicationConfig.getConfig();
