As you know, each Activity is also a Context, which is information about its execution environment in the broadest sense. Your application also has a context, and Android guarantees that it will exist as a single instance across your application.
The way to do this is to create your own subclass of android.app.Application, and then specify that class in the application tag in your manifest. Now Android will automatically create an instance of that class and make it available for your entire application. You can access it from any context using the Context.getApplicationContext() method (Activity also provides a method getApplication() which has the exact same effect):
This has essentially the same effect as using a static variable or singleton,
but integrates quite well into the existing Android framework.
Note that this will not work across processes (should your app be one of the rare ones that has multiple processes
public class GlobalParameterApplication extends Application {
private User user;
public User getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
<application
android:name="com.dt5000.ischool.util.GlobalParameterApplication"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name=".WelcomeActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_welcome" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
在manifest中添加引用
使用的话:
//6:从全局变量中得到所有的科目集合
GlobalParameterApplication gpa = (GlobalParameterApplication) getApplicationContext();
User user = gpa.getUser();
The more general problem you are encountering is how to save stateacross several Activities and all parts of your application. A staticvariable (for instance, a singleton) is a common Java way of achievingthis. I have found however, that a more elegant way in Android is toassociate your state with the Application context.
–如想在整个应用中使用,在java中一般是使用静态变量,而在android中有个更优雅的方式是使用Application context。

–每个Activity 都是Context,其包含了其运行时的一些状态,android保证了其是single instance的。

–方法是创建一个属于你自己的android.app.Application的子类,然后在manifest中申明一下这个类,这是 android就为此建立一个全局可用的实例,你可以在其他任何地方使用Context.getApplicationContext()方法获取这个实例,进而获取其中的状态(变量)。
