FragmentManager from application context

Question

Is there a way to get FragmentManager from application context? I want to use ImageLoader or BitmapFun to store some bitmaps that I download from server. Both class require a FragmentManager to use to retain the cache over configuration changes such as an orientation change. In my case I want to pre-download the images before I actually "need" them.

No, because fragments are part of an activity.

Then use a different library, one that does not have a dependency upon fragments.

Yes, you can.

First you have to read this solution to get the "Current activity" of your application:
