What is the better way to get Context?

Question

According to this answer or the android's documentation there is several ways to get the Context in an app and pass it to an other class/method/whateveruneed.

Let's say I'm in the Foo Activity and in need to pass the context to Bar's constructor.

Bar bar  = new Bar(Foo.this);
Bar bar2 = new Bar(this); //same as first i guess
Bar bar3 = new Bar(getApplicationContext());
Bar bar4 = new Bar(getBaseContext());
Bar bar5 = new Bar(MyApp.getContext); // get context statically 

Taking into account of memory leaks, speed , general performance , what will be the better way between all those possibilities ?

Answer 1

You should check out this question - which basicly covers the same as yours.

Also the Developer Docs on Avoiding memory leaks gives you a decent explanation of some situtations in which various of the methods are reasonable to use.
