Saving and reading files in the internal storage

You can save and read files in the internal storage as private files which only your app can see except for other apps with root privileges.

Getting the Context inside a Fragment

It is very easy to get the Context inside an Activity:

  • with the getApplicationContext() method
  • using only “this” because the Activity class extends the Context class

But you can’t use any of these two methods inside a Fragment and you have to replace them respectively with:

  • getActivity().getApplicationContext()
  • getActivity()

I often do this replacement when I use code written for an Activity, but that I must use in a Fragment.
