I would say, this is the most important answer after an accepted one.

I would say that the existence of ContextWrapper is one of the worst decisions ever made by developers of Android framework. When they realized that they created an entire family of God Objects, instead of doing the right thing and refactoring the code toward Single Responsibility, they added an ugly hack that allowed to change Context behavior by deepening the inheritance tree. Bad software engineering at its ugliest. As for us, developers, IMHO no one should ever use getBaseContext() or ContextWrapper. If you do - it is a huge "code smell".

Thank you for this answer, I was not aware that ContextWrapper was to be used like this!! I always thought it was something internal from the Android Team. In my sense, this is the expected Answer. T H A N K S !!!
