ApplicationInfo on Android in static method

Not that complicated of a question today:

Is there a way to get the A开发者_运维技巧pplicationInfo in a static method?

No.

To get to ApplicationInfo you need instance of Context, which you get via and instance of Application or Activity.

So, normally you'd do:

ApplicationInfo appIngo = this.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("your.app.package.name", GET_META_DATA) 

where this is and instance of Context, either Activity, Service or Application.

You can inherit your your application class from Application

public class TestApplication extends Application

create private static instance variable inside this class

private static TestApplication instance = null;

instantiate it in onCreate method:

instance = this;

write access method

public static TestApplication getInstance() {
    return instance;
}

From any place you can call

TestApplication.getInstance().getApplicationInfo()

Same way you can get ApplicationContext.
