    import android.app.Application;
    
    /**
    * This is a global POJO that we attach data to which we
    * want to use across the application
    * @author James Elsey
    *
    */
    public class GlobalState extends Application
    {
    private String testMe;
    
    public String getTestMe() {
    return testMe;
    }
    public void setTestMe(String testMe) {
    this.testMe = testMe;
    }
    }
    [/sourcecode]
