getApplicationContext(), getBaseContext(), getApplication(), getParent()

What is the difference between:

  1. getApplicationContext()
  2. getBasecontext()
  3. getApplication()
  4. getParent()

Can you elaborate with one simple example?

getApplicationContext() Application context is associated with the Application and will always be the same throughout the life cycle.

getBasecontext() should not be used, just use Context instead of it which is associated with the activity and can be destroyed when the activity is destroyed.
