*** ** * ** ***

Denotes a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html` that is tied to a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html` and can be used to obtain one via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getDisplay()`. Note: it is not considered to be a UI or visual Context and **must not** be used to obtain UI-related services, such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.html`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/WallpaperManager.html` via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getSystemService(java.lang.Class<T>)`. If the UI services mentioned above are required, instead please use Contexts which are marked as `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/annotation/UiContext`.

`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html`, Context instances created with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#createWindowContext(android.view.Display, int, android.os.Bundle)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#createDisplayContext(android.view.Display)` can be used to get an associated `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html` instance.

This is a marker annotation and has no specific attributes.
