Question

Is posible to retrieve the Applicaton Context from a non-main Thread with some kind of static call?

Thanks

Yes. There are plenty (see below), but it is not recommended at all. You better pass the context when you create the thread through a customized constructor.

Example (again – really discourged):

in the activity:

class SomeActivity extends Activity {
    public static Context ctx;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
        // ...
        ctx = this;
        // ...
    }

    public static Context getLastSetContext() {
        return ctx;
    }
} 

in the thread:

Context ctx = SomeActivity.getLastSetContext();
