There is no need to subclass Application; I would highly recommend putting all of this stuff in a global static, that is just read once when needed. This way whatever current activity needs it can just get it without leading a copy itself. If the data really is specific to one activity, then onRetainNonConfigurationInstance is a good way to go.
