I honestly don't know/remember why.... Let me turn the question around, why are you using getApplicationContext()? For example, your sendWakefulWork() looks like this, why? public static void sendWakefulWork(Context ctxt, Intent i) { getLock(ctxt.getApplicationContext()).acquire(); ctxt.startService(i); } I find the regular Context vs. ApplicationContext probably the most confusing aspect of Android, especially the application context is not a proper interface/class, so you cannot make it required. I think this decision by the API design team is causing a lot of headaches for people. > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons > Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy > > Android Training in DC:http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
