What is Context in Android?

I would like to have an answer on this question Android - SharedPreferences with serializable object:

LocalPersistence LP=new LocalPersistence();
Asortiment=(Nomenklatura) LP.readObjectFromFile(???, filename);

But can't understand what to pass instead of Context context in main activity?

I try to pas it, but I get message: Application has stopped unexpectedly for: FileInputStream fileIn = context.getApplicationContext().openFileInput(filename); Maybe filename is wrong — user1884872, Jan 03 '13 at 14:47

If you are in the Activity, you can pass this. Otherwise (for example if you are inside another class), you can always use MyActivity.this to get a app-wide available reference to the activity object (there is always only one).
