Reason for my vote of 1 \n There is no need to use cast.

Just use static variable and you can get access to application object without casting.

public class BaseApplication extends Application {

public BaseApplication() {
currentApplication = this;
}


private static BaseApplication currentApplication;

public static Context getAppContext() {
return currentApplication.getApplicationContext();
}
}
