how to properly pass context between methods to use database repository?

Ok this is a bit more theoretical question.

I have PlayerRepository. This is a class that is used to make actions on my SQLite database. I've implemented there actions like select, insert, update etc.

public PlayerRepository(Context context) {
    super(context, com.fixus.portals.model.Player.class);
    open();
}

super in constructor is cause PlayerRepository extends Repository which is also my class. The most important part of Repository is this one

public class Repository<T> {
protected static SQLiteDatabase db = null;
protected static MainHelper helper = null;
protected Context context;
private Class<T> type;

public Repository(Context context, Class<T> classz) {
    this.type = classz;
    this.context = context;
    if(helper == null) {
        helper = new MainHelper(context.getApplicationContext());
    } 
}

public static void open() {
    if(db == null) {
        db = helper.getWritableDatabase();
    }
}
}

As you can see when I create the repository I'm opening DB if it wasn't open before. To do that I need to pass the Context of the application/activity. That is not a problem.

BUT sometimes I want to use my repository out side of an activity. In some kind of tool class that need to get data. So I have two ways that I can think about

1. I get the data in activity and pass it to my tool class/method so I don't need to use repository in it. This is not very flexible

2. I need to pass context to my tool class/method. But that means that every kind of operation need to receive a context and I'm not sure this is a good way

Am I missing something ? is there any better way to handle it ?
