Android static Application.getInstance()

Question

Could you help me with this situation. We are using a static instance of a class that extends Application in android.

public class MyClass extends Applicatio         


        

Answer 1

You should instantiate the singleton class with an other way (and not simply create a new object), in OnCreate method which is called when application starts:

public class MyClass extends Application {

    // Singleton instance
    private static MyClass sInstance = null;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        // Setup singleton instance
        sInstance = this;
    }

    // Getter to access Singleton instance
    public static MyClass getInstance() {
        return sInstance ; 
    }
}

And be sure to link this class to application tag in Manifest.xml
