Question

I have an application which need to access context in a lot of different classes all the time, for saving and serializing data, showing dialogs etc.

According to an article on the Android developer site, this causes memory leaks:
http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/avoiding-memory-leaks.html

What is the general approach for accessing context? Should a create a singelton class which holds one reference to context as soon as the app is started or what’s the best approach?

Right now my methods look like this for instance

public void saveData(TheCassName classObject, Context context){
//do some stuff that involves context
}

And is called from wherever i need it.

Thanks!

Try using application context instead of activity context. However, there are limitations on app context you should be aware of: When to call activity context OR application context?
