Context defines the current state of application or object. Context provides access to things such as creating new activity instance, access databases, start a service, etc. You can get the context by invoking getApplicationContext(), getContext(), getBaseContext() or this when in the activity class.
//Creating ui instance ImageButton button = new ImageButton(getContext()); //creating adapter ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getApplicationContext(), ...); //querying content provider getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(uri, ...); //start activity. Here this means activity context Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
