title: getApplicationContext() error Android
body: <p>I have a fragment that allows a user to enter in a message and a phone number to which the message will be delivered. I am getting an error "cannot resolve method getApplicationContext()" I have looked at the answer here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16678763/the-method-getapplicationcontext-is-undefined">the method getApplicationContext() is undefined</a> but it didn't help me, maybe I am implementing it wrong but I am not sure! This code works fine as an activity but not as a fragment.</p>
