Singleton in Android

EDIT :

The implementation of a Singleton in Android is not “safe” (see here) and you should use a library dedicated to this kind of pattern like Dagger or other DI library to manage the lifecycle and the injection.


Could you post an example from your code ?

Take a look at this gist : https://gist.github.com/Akayh/5566992

it works but it was done very quickly :

MyActivity : set the singleton for the first time + initialize mString attribute (“Hello”) in private constructor and show the value (“Hello”)

Set new value to mString : “Singleton”

Launch activityB and show the mString value. “Singleton” appears…
