    <p>My problem is similar to this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10854930/cant-make-static-reference-to-non-static-method-android-getapplicationcontext">Can&#39;t make static reference to non-static method ( Android getApplicationContext() )</a> I need to get the context of the SherlockFragmentActivity in order to access the database class. I tried the solution in this link above, but it did not work.</p> <p>Question 1: How do I get the context in the code below. </p> <p>Question 2: I get an error that forces me to use 'static' instead of public for the application context variable. I know that static is for a variable that does not change. However, this variable will change each time a tab is clicked on. Also, 'static' variables are not required for the database class. I'm confused as to why I need a static variable here. </p> <p>my SherlockFragmentActivity:</p> <pre><code>public class FragmentTabs extends SherlockFragmentActivity { TabHost mTabHost; TabManager mTabManager; static FragmentTabs appState; TabSwitchIdDatabase tsid = new TabSwitchIdDatabase(this); @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setTheme(SampleList.THEME); // Used for theme switching in samples super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); appState = ((FragmentTabs)getApplicationContext()); //.... more code } public static class TabManager implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener {..// see code snipit below....} } </code></pre> <p>Where i need to put the context</p> <pre><code> public static class TabManager implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener { //... more code static class DummyTabFactory implements TabHost.TabContentFactory { //... more code @Override public void onTabChanged(String tabId) { TabInfo newTab = mTabs.get(tabId); System.out.println(tabId); tsid.open();// broken , scoping problem Boolean x =tsid.tabExists(0); String tabIDfromDatabase = tsid.getTab(0);// broken , scoping problem tsid.close();// broken , scoping problem } } } </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.
