Please find me difference for this two.??

Answer 1

To have a gist over the application context and activity context read below:

The application context will live as long as your application is alive and does not depend on the activities life cycle. If you plan on keeping long-lived objects that need a context, remember the application object. You can obtain it easily by calling Context.getApplicationContext() or Activity.getApplication().

In summary, to avoid context-related memory leaks, remember the following:

1.Do not keep long-lived references to a context-activity (a reference to an activity should have the same life cycle as the activity itself)

2.Try using the context-application instead of a context-activity
