title: Accessing Android Context in Xamarin.Forms
body: <p>I've seen some old solutions to getting the Android Context using Xamarin.Forms. These older solution suggest the use of <code>Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Context</code> but due to the ever changing Xamarin.Forms platform this no longer works.</p>
  
  <p>In my example I have used the <code>DependencyService.Get&lt;Interface&gt;()</code> from my Shared Code project to use a platform specific implementation of the <code>Interface</code> class.</p>
  
  <p>The use of Android Context is needed a ton when using platform specific functionality using Xamarin.Andriod.</p>
  
  <p>So how do we get the global information interface for an Android Context?</p>
