In an Android utility class, I want to get a system preference value in a class, but I don’t have the context there, because the class that calls it doesn’t have the context either. I’ve found that for Resources one can use the static Resources.getSystem() function. Is there any similar way for getting system preferences without context?
My class isn’t an activity nor service. It’s a utility class. Could give more info if needed.
You’ve got to send it a Context – don’t try to run away from your responsibilities. 🙂 Your utility class must be getting called by an Activity or Service at some level, and you’re going to have pass that Context all the way down the line, through every method call. I know it’s annoying, I’ve had to do similar things myself. Consider it an incentive to keep your code simple and to require as few method calls possible to get something accomplished.
