I have a class defined as
public class viewGroups extends ListActivity
Somewhere in the class I have
objItem = new clsContactGroups(context);
I am wondering what is advised to be used here? Which context?
I know four choices, but maybe there are others…
this
this.getApplicationContext()
this.getBaseContext()
this.getParent()
I use this Context to show a Toast. So I would like to show on the front-most view visible.
Use
this. The toast will be associated with your ListActiviy, which is what you are looking for. The ApplicationContext is not suitable (I’m not sure what would happen) and I think the getBaseContext() is probably going to return the same as the Application Context. getParent() would be a good choice if your activity is embedded in another, but this should be rare.
