/**
 * Denotes a {@link android.content.Context} that is tied to a {@link android.view.Display} and
 * can be used to obtain one via {@link android.content.Context#getDisplay}. Note: it is not
 * considered to be a UI or visual Context and <b>must not</b> be used to obtain UI-related
 * services, such as {@link android.view.WindowManager}, {@link android.view.LayoutInflater} or
 * {@link android.app.WallpaperManager} via
 * {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService(String)}. If the UI services mentioned above
 * are required, instead please use Contexts which are marked as {@link UiContext}.
 * <p>
 * {@link android.app.Activity}, Context instances created with
 * {@link android.content.Context#createWindowContext(int, Bundle)} or
 * {@link android.content.Context#createDisplayContext(Display)} can be used to get an associated
 * {@link android.view.Display} instance.
