Using context in a fragment
You can use getActivity(), which returns the activity associated with a fragment.
The activity is a context (since Activity extends Context).
To do as the answer above, you can override the onAttach method of fragment:
public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment{... @Override public void onAttach(Activity activity) { super.onAttach(activity); DBHelper = new DatabaseHelper(activity); }}
The easiest and most precise way to get the context of the fragment that I found is to get it directly from the ViewGroup when you call onCreateView method at least here you are sure not to get null for getActivity():
public class Animal extends Fragment { Context thiscontext; @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { thiscontext = container.getContext();
