Using Singletons Between Android Application Activities?
<p>I have a multiple Activity application that progresses the user from entering an IP/Host address, to entering some data (another Activity), to viewing a stream of video frames (yet another Activity). I share the Socket between the Activities by creating a singleton. Is this considered a bad pattern to use for an object that cannot be serialized?</p>

<p>I have looked all morning through some of these posts and others through out the web and the best that I can come up with is there is no real easy way, but this one seems very easy to me. The only other approach I think has merit is a custom Application object.</p>

<p>Any insight by people who have worked with singletons across Activities I would really like to hear of any problems I may not be aware of that might get me later... Thanks!!</p>
