I'm not sure if this is an Android question or just due to my being new to Java as well. I'd like to use the getString method to get strings from my resources (R.string.whatever). I see that this is a method of the Context class, and I can call it directly from within my main Activity class.
But I also have some utility classes in their own class files and can't simply call this method from them. What seems to be required is for me to pass the context (the Activity object) into these other classes via their constructors. Then I can call the method e.g., mCtx.getString(). Am I correct that this is the only way to do this? Also, if I want to use any other Android class that requires a context (e.g. AlertDialog.Builder), I essentially have to "pass" the context from the main Activity object to any class that needs to use it? I guess my main question is whether there's another way to get the Context without having to pass it from class to class as an argument. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
