How to get application object into fragment class

Question

Use appCtx = (UnityMobileApp) getActivity().getApplication(); in your fragment.

The method getActivity() may have possibility to return null. This may crash your app.So it is safe to use that method inside the onActivityCreated(). Eg:

private UnityMobileApp appCtx;
.
.
...
@Override
public View onCreateView(...){
...
}

@Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
     super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); 
     appCtx = ((UnityMobileApp) getActivity().getApplication()); 
} 
...
//access the application class methods using the object appCtx....

As you are trying yo use application context from fragment you can not use getApplication() because that isn't method of Fragment class
So you first have to use the getActivity() which will return a Fragment Activity to which the fragment is currently associated with.

to sumup in your code,

instead of this.getApplication() you have to use getActivity.getApplication()

know more about getActivity() from android documentation

Alternatively using Kotlin

fun bar() {
   (activity?.application as UnityMobileApp).let {
      it.drink()
   } ?: run {
      Log.d("DEBUG", "(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻")
   }
}

A Newer way:

Application application = requireActivity().getApplication();
