Answer 1

Try

View.getContext();

It should work.

Answer 2

To add a view, you need to cast it as a ViewGroup:

ViewGroup addViewHere = (ViewGroup)myView;

Or you may need to get the parent if the problem is that you cannot add the view to the correct place in the view hierarchy:

ViewGroup addViewHere = (ViewGroup)myView.getParent();

Then assuming all layout params are correct, add it:

addViewHere.addView(newView);

Answer 3

You can try this:

findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView()

It should give you the root view of the activity including status bar on top
