# AbilityContext

The **AbilityContext** module, inherited from **Context**, implements the context for abilities.

This module provides APIs for accessing ability-specific resources. You can use the APIs to start and terminate an ability, obtain the caller interface, and request permissions from users by displaying a dialog box.

> **NOTE**
>
>  - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>  - The APIs of this module can be used only in the stage model.

## Usage

Before using the **AbilityContext** module, you must define a child class that inherits from **Ability**.

```ts
import Ability from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility';

 let context = undefined;
class MainAbility extends Ability {
    onWindowStageCreate(windowStage) {
        context = this.context;
    }
}
```
