Can someone explain to me the role of the Application class in android?
<p>I'm studying Java and Android development by myself from PDFs. I'm trying to figure out what the <code>Application</code> class is for, and when should it be used? </p>

<p>I couldn't understand it from reading through either the PDFs or the android developers website.</p>

<p>Anyone care to explain it to me?</p>
