Yeah, this is what I do and works fine, though I hate it that I cannot
declare the member variable as an "ApplicationContext" and instead
having to declare it as a Context. The reason I hate this is that I
cannot provide a compile time checking so that I don't accidentally
hold onto the the Activity context. I think ApplicationContext
should have been a base interface and Context should have just
extended that.
