Accessing Database created in one activity from another activity

Question

I have created an instance of my database helper class in the main activity.

I want to access that instance from any another activity where I can update that database. I have created an instance with getApplicationContext() as context but it's still not showing that instance in another activity.

create a static instance. – Hesam Rasoulian Mar 28 '19 at 09:03 — Hesam Rasoulian, Mar 28 '19 at 09:03

Instead of Main Activity, you can create database on Application file.

Then you can access it from anywhere, not specific activity.

Application App

public class ApplicantApp extends Application{

    private static Database yourdatabasevariable;
}

Another Activity

public class ActivityA{
   Application.yourdatabasevariable;
}
