Remarks
Returns a new Context object from the current context but with device association given by the deviceId. Each call to this method returns a new instance of a context object. Context objects are not shared; however, common state (such as the ClassLoader and other resources for the same configuration) can be shared, so the Context itself is lightweight.
Applications that run on virtual devices may use this method to access the default device capabilities and functionality (by passing Context#DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT. Similarly, applications running on the default device may access the functionality of virtual devices.
Note that the newly created instance will be associated with the same display as the parent Context, regardless of the device ID passed here.
