You can create a static Application Context in your custom Application class

public class App extends Application{

    private static Context mContext;

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

    public static Context getContext(){
        return mContext;
    }
}

Then you just need to call App.getContext().getResources() to get any resource values.

Just remember that this Context is Application type, so there are things that this Context is not good to use. Read this for further info.
