    <p>I am trying to follow a tutorial on building a GridView Layout however I see context being passed to the image adapter, I dont want to copy the code or just retype it without knowing why its being done so I am wondering why its being passed. I have the basic understand about it being info about the app or its environment.</p> <pre><code>import android.content.Context; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.BaseAdapter; import android.widget.GridView; import android.widget.ImageView; public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Context mContext; // Keep all Images in array public Integer[] mThumbIds = { R.drawable.pic_1, R.drawable.pic_2, R.drawable.pic_3, R.drawable.pic_4, R.drawable.pic_5, R.drawable.pic_6, R.drawable.pic_7, R.drawable.pic_8, R.drawable.pic_9, R.drawable.pic_10, R.drawable.pic_11, R.drawable.pic_12, R.drawable.pic_13, R.drawable.pic_14, R.drawable.pic_15 }; // Constructor public ImageAdapter(Context c){ mContext = c; } @Override public int getCount() { return mThumbIds.length; } @Override public Object getItem(int position) { return mThumbIds[position]; } @Override public long getItemId(int position) { return 0; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ImageView imageView = new ImageView(mContext); imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]); imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP); imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(70, 70)); return imageView; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
