extend the base android.app.Application class and add member variables like so:
public
class
MyApplication
extends
Application
{
private
String
someVariable
;
public
String
getSomeVariable
()
{
return
someVariable
;
}
public
void
setSomeVariable
(
String
someVariable
)
{
this
.
someVariable
=
someVariable
;
}
}
In your android manifest you must declare the class implementing android.app.Application:
<application
android:name
=
"MyApplication"
android:icon
=
"@drawable/icon"
android:label
=
"@string/app_name"
>
Then in your activities you can get and set the variable like so:
// set
((
MyApplication
)
this
.
getApplication
()).
setSomeVariable
(
"foo"
);
// get
String
s
=
((
MyApplication
)
this
.
getApplication
()).
getSomeVariable
();
