Android class to share data in activities problem

I have the following code with which I wou开发者_如何转开发ld like data to be stored in and returned true or false when needed:

public class DataHolder extends Application {
private long NextRestoreTime = 0;

public boolean getNextResotreTime()
{
    if (System.currentTimeMillis() >= NextRestoreTime) 
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}
public void setRestoreTime(long RestoreTime)
{
    if(NextRestoreTime == 0)
    {
        NextRestoreTime = RestoreTime;
    }
    else
    {
        if(RestoreTime < NextRestoreTime)
        {
            NextRestoreTime = RestoreTime;
        }
    }
}
}

How can I access data from other classes?

I now I have to set like this:

DataHolder dataHolder = ((DataHolder)getApplicationContext());

But I have no idea how to do this in ListAdapter

public class CurrentAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<CurrentlyItem> { ...

Am I on the right way to do it or is there any better way?

Thanks for help!

Just by doing

DataHolder dataHolder = ((DataHolder)getApplicationContext());

I get

Activity is in Manifest

<activity android:name=".DataHolder"></activity>

You're on the right track for this, you just need to put that manifest attribute under the Application tag, instead of an Activity tag (since DataHolder's not actually an Activity), like so:

<application android:name=".DataHolder" //...:icon and :label to follow >

I'd suggest using something like shared preferences for this, as the Android operating system can kill and restart your application at will, so if you just use a static variable it may get reset on you. Look at the documentation on data storage.
