Remarks
Returns a new Context object from the current context but with resources adjusted to match the metrics of display. 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.
<b>Note:</b> This Context is <b>not</b> expected to be updated with new configuration if the underlying display configuration changes and the cached Resources it returns could be stale. It is suggested to use android.hardware.display.DisplayManager.DisplayListener to listen for changes and re-create an instance if necessary.
This Context is <b>not</b> a UI context, do not use it to access UI components or obtain a WindowManager instance.
To obtain an instance of WindowManager configured to show windows on the given display, call #createWindowContext(int, Bundle) on the returned display context, then call #getSystemService(String) or #getSystemService(Class) on the returned window context.
