Android multiple activities access one java class

I am new to android development and appreciate any help. I have multiple android activities that have to access one java class. This class has synchronized getters and setters, but I'm having problems making a single instance of this class across the activities. Is there any way to easily do this?

What you need is a 'singleton' pattern:

public final class Singleton {
    private final static Singleton ourInstance = new Singleton();
    public static Singleton getInstance() {
        return ourInstance;
    }

    // Contructor is private, so it won't be possible 
    // to create instance of this class from outside of it.
    private Singleton() {
    }
}

Now in your child classes, just use:

Singleton.getInstance()

to access one, single object of this class.

you can use singleton design pattern. Here is one way of implementing it in java

public class Singleton 
{
  private static Singleton uniqInstance;

  private Singleton() 
  {
  }

  public static synchronized Singleton getInstance() 
  {
    if (uniqInstance == null) {
      uniqInstance = new Singleton();
    }
  return uniqInstance;
  } 
 // other useful methods here
}
