title: Get context within RecyclerView.ViewHolder
body: <p>I want to animate ListView items when they first appear. I have the following viewholder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class SimpleViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
  {
      private TextView  simpleTextView;
  
      public SimpleViewHolder(final View itemView, final SimpleAdapter.onItemClickListener listener) 
      {
          super(itemView);
  
          simpleTextView  = (TextView)  itemView.findViewById(R.id.simple_text);
  
          RotateAnimation rotate = new RotateAnimation(0, 360,
                  Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,
                  0.5f);
          rotate.setDuration(1000);
          rotate.setRepeatCount( 0 );
          simpleTextView.setAnimation(rotate);
      }
  
      public void bindData(final SimpleViewModel viewModel)
      {
          simpleTextView.setText( viewModel.getSimpleText() );
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works great, except instead of setting the animations programmatically, I would like to load them from an XML file using the following method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.myanimation);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I'm not clear how to get/pass the context to the RecyclerView.ViewHolder or is this even the proper place where to do animations.</p>
  
  <p>How can I load the XML animation within the RecyclerView.ViewHolder and is this correct place for doing animations for the list items? Thanks!</p>
