Context is a class defined by the Android SDK. It isn't a keyword- it's a type. If you're seeing `somevas as Context` that's casting a variable into a Context. Which is something that would be very odd to do. – Gabe Sechan Nov 18 '22 at 07:24

Refer to wiki , a context is the minimal set of data for a task to run.
In some programming architecture， a context always acts the role of an environment which linking up-stream and down-stream (or back-end and front-end).
In android, a Context is the interface to global information about an application environment.The global information includes resources and apis to get system services(getSystemService(..)).
A context contains the necessay environment for an app to do something.
The android's contex may be an Activity, a Service, or an Application.
For a Toast, it needs a context to get text from Resources and get a system service (NotificationManager) to show the text.
