Answer 1

You can use WeakReferences for this case. something like this:

public class ContactsTask {

    private WeakReference<Context> weakContext;

    public ContactsTask(Context context){
        weakContext = new WeakReference<>(context);
    }

    public void doSomething(){
        if (weakContext!=null) weakContext.get() ...    //return context without leaks
    }

}
