// For example View has a protected mContext field you can use.
// In this case it's just 'this' since Activity is a context.

// Note that the Resources class has methods like getColor(),
// getDimen(), getDrawable() because themes are stored in resources.
// You can use them, but you might want to take a look at the view
// examples to see how to make custom widgets.
