Constructor Detail

RepositoryFactory

public RepositoryFactory(Context context)

Create a new instance of the repository factory. Although singleton classes do not typically define a public constructor, this version does so to support multiple repository factories in the same application. Most implementations, however, will not directly create a factory through the constructor and will instead use the singleton functions getInstance and setInstance.
