/**
 * 
 * Use it on {@link android.content.Context} fields in an {@link EBean}
 * annotated classes to inject context of the parent class.
 * 
 * 
 * This field may not be injected at runtime if the context used to create the
 * bean is not of the appropriate type. For example, if you create a new
 * instance of the bean using a Service context, and you use {@link RootContext}
 * on a field that extends Activity, this field will be null at runtime.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * Example :
 *
 *  * @EBean
 * public class MyClass {
 * 
 * 	@RootContext
 * 	Context context;
 * 
 * 	// Only injected if the root context is an activity
 * 	@RootContext
 * 	Activity activity;
 * 
 * 	// Only injected if the root context is a service
 * 	@RootContext
 * 	Service service;
 * 
 * 	// Only injected if the root context is an instance of MyActivity
 * 	@RootContext
 * 	MyActivity myActivity;
 * 
 * 	@RootContext
 * 	void singleInjection(Context context) {
 * 		// do stuff
 * 	}
 *
 * 	void multiInjection(@RootContext Context context, @RootContext Activity activity) {
 * 		// do stuff
 * 	}
 * }
