How to obtain application context from broadcast receiver?

Question

I have an extension of the Application class that I need to obtain reference in a BroadcastReceiver I have created. The context passed into the \"onReceive\" is a restricted

Answer 1

BroadcastReceiver already gives the context. Look at the onReceive.

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)

Answer 2

Call getApplicationContext() on the Context supplied to you in onReceive(), just as you would call getApplicationContext() on an Activity.

I have an extension of the Application that allows me to non-statically obtain reference to several objects I need.

While syntactically Application is not static, it has the same impact, particularly with respect to memory leaks.
