Context in Android Programming

What is the context in Android?

Can someone tell me about the term "context" used in android. It is interesting what exactly this means because it is what I saw in many places.

I found this to be a class: - "An interface to global application environmental information," but I still don't quite understand it.

for instance: public GetCurrentLocation (context context) {this.context = context; }

Thanks David

Answer 1

I answered it here

this.context = context is written in perplexity. Another way to write the same thing:

public class LocationClass { private Context context_belonging_to_class = null; // .. public GetCurrentLocation(Context context_from_call_entity) { context_belonging_to_class = context_from_calling_entity; // initializing context variable } // .. }
