Hi
There is a Android source code that I understand it amd know what it does except the role of "this" as a parameter to a method .
The code :


In lines 18 to 26 , what is the role of "this" ??? To which it refers ??? Is it the strange "context" ???

"this" in Java refers to the object in which it is used, in this case to the "Audio" class. The method probably takes an Activity or a Context as parameter.
