关于Context的理解
Context
?
翻译成中文大概是:“上下文,背景”的意思。
这是一个抽象类,这个类的具体左右是什么呢?
?
Api文档是这样描述的:
Interface to global information about an application environment. This is an abstract class whose implementation is provided by the Android system. It allows access to application-specific resources and classes, as well as up-calls for application-level operations such as launching activities, broadcasting and receiving intents, etc.
?
下面摘自http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3572463/what-is-context-in-android的描述
As the name suggests, its the context of current state of the application/object. It lets newly created objects understand what has been going on. Typically you call it to get information regarding another part of your program (activity, package/application)
You can get the context by invoking?getApplicationContext()
,?getContext()
,getBaseContext()
?or?this
?(when in the activity class).
Typical uses of context:
Creating New objects: Creating new views, adapters, listeners:
TextView tv = new TextView(getContext());ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getApplicationContext(), ...);
Accessing Standard Common Resources: Services like LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE, SharedPreferences:
context.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
this.getResources().get***
getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(*name*, *mode*);
(AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);//闹钟相关
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(uri, ...);

主要的作用有3个:
1.创建对象
2.获取公共资源文件,获取系统的某些管理器,比如控制电源,网络,等等
3.调用系统组件
Context是一个抽象类,我们先看下他的继承方式:
?
java.lang.Object????android.content.ContextKnown Direct SubclassesKnown Indirect Subclassespublic class ContextWrapper{? ? Context mContext? ? public ContextWrapper(Context ctx){? ? ? ? mContext = ctx? ? }? ? public Resourced getResources(){? ? ? ? return mContext.getResources()? ? }? ? //... all other Methods are implementing the same AdapterPattern}?
这下明白了吧?原来我们平时经常在Activity中使用的this.getResources().***是在这个地方被实现的!

最后,如果需要使用Context的时候,但是这时候没有Context怎么办?比如不在Activity类中。参考前面
You can get the context by invoking?getApplicationContext()
,?getContext()
,getBaseContext()
?or?this
?(when in the activity class).
