What is an example where you use getBaseContext()?

if i understand correctly, you use getContext() to get the context of a view object. You use activity context or this if you want to create a new object that exist as long as activity exist, if not the activity wont be destroyed and eventually lead to memory leaks. You use getApplicationContext() if you want a context that is tied to the global lifecycle of the application and should be used wherever we need to create a object that exist beyond the current activity.

Is my understanding correct ?

But what is getBaseContext() and where do you use it exactly.. One simple and solid example would be great

View.getContext() usually returns the context the view of current Activity. ContextWrapper.getBaseContext()is used while accessing a Context from within another context example Activity.

See at - [Difference between getContext() , getApplicationContext() , getBaseContext() and] "this"7]: Difference between getContext() , getApplicationContext() , getBaseContext() and "this"
