In an Android utility class, I want to get a system preference value in a class, but I don't have the context there, because the class that calls it doesn't have the context either. I've found that for Resources one can use the static Resources.getSystem() function. Is there any similar way for getting system preferences without context?...

This is pretty simple to do in XCode for an iPhone app, but I'm not sure how to approach it in Eclipse. Is...
