Thanks, that's great. By the way, I guess the method getApplicationContext() available within the whole application, this can be use in helper class or is this equivalent to pass a context on and on ? (thinking about memory leak) ?Thanks a lot, Luc

You actually don't need to call getApplicationContext(). That constructor just wants any Context for your own package so it can get the package name. Thus, if you are calling startActivity() from inside of an Activity, you can just pass in "this" since an Activity is-a Context. From a View, use getContext() to get the Context the view is running in.
