Get application context returns null

Question

The following schema has been touted as the way to get application context from anywhere within my android app. But sometimes doing MyApp.getContext() returns n

Answer 1

Create in onCreate() an instance of getApplicationContext() (mContext) then call MyApp.getContext() from everywhere in your app and you will get your application context statically.

public class MyApp extends Application {
 //private static MyApp instance;
 private static Context mContext;

    public static MyApp getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }

    public static Context getContext() {
      //  return instance.getApplicationContext();
      return mContext;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    //  instance = this;
     mContext = getApplicationContext();    
    }
}

Remember to declare into your AndroidManifest.xml
