How to obtain AssetManager without reference to Context?

I have a class that needs to obtain a reference to it's application's AssetManager. This class does not extend any sort of android UI class, so it doesn't have a getContext() method, or anything similar. Is there some sort of static Context.getCurrentApplicationContext() type of method?

To clarify: my class is intended to be used like a library, for other applications. It has no associated AndroidManifest.xml or control over the context which is calling it.

The key to this problem is :

Create a subclass of Application, for instance public class App extends Application Set the android:name attribute of your tag in the AndroidManifest.xml to point to your new class, e.g. android:name=".App" In the onCreate() method of your app instance, save your context (e.g. this) to a static field named app and create a static method that returns this field, e.g. getApp():

This is how it should look:

public class App extends Application{

private static Context mContext;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    mContext = this;
}

public static Context getContext(){
    return mContext;
}

}

Now you can use: App.getContext() whenever you want to get a context, and then getAssetManager() or App.getContext().getAssetManager().
