Question

I have Activity A, Activity B, and a static class in the same
application. The scenario is as follows (it’s simplified here; it
makes more sense in my software):

1. (in Activity A) mAppctx = this.getApplicationContext();
2. (in Activity A) StaticClass.appctx = mAppctx;
3. Activity B is spawned
4. Assume that Activity A is destroyed by the system while Activity B
   is running
5. Activity B does the following (pseudo-code):
   ….. = StaticClass.appctx.getResources().openRawResource(…);

Is this correct?

Since an application Context belongs to the Application (i.e. to the
process), and not to the Activity, I suppose it’s correct, and APK
resources can be accessed in this way from the static class without
any problem. (I know that Activity B could actually ask getApplicationContext() on his own, but the above question is intentionally different.)

Answer 1

Yes, it is correct as both activity and aplication context access same resources.
