Not sure what you mean by global parameter here, but if you are keeping
hold of an Activity reference as a global variable, you may be in for
some surprises.  Activities appear to be a lot more dynamic than you
might think.  For instance, we've recently noticed that flipping the
screen orientation results in the creation of a new Activity, and the
destruction of the current one.
