Question

I have a main activity, and it summons another activity to display some data.

I have a private database helper object that I use throughout the main activity code. Is there a way to pass the context of my main activity to my sub activity in an elegant way? (ie, from subclass, something like getCallingActivityContext())

I could always create new database helper objects.

Extending the Application class helps you to allow declare/access global variables. You can set your variables from any activity to ApplicationContext and access it from other activity without using bundle.
