What's the correct way to pass a bundle to the activity that is being launched from the current one? Shared properties?
What's the correct way to pass a bundle to the activity that is being launched from the current one? Shared properties?
You have a few options:
1) Use the Bundle from the Intent:
Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle extras = mIntent.getExtras();
extras.putString(key, value);
2) Create a new Bundle
Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle mBundle = new Bundle();
mBundle.putString(key, value);
mIntent.putExtras(mBundle);
3) Use the putExtra() shortcut method of the Intent
Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
mIntent.putExtra(key, value);
Then, in the launched Activity, you would read them via:
String value = getIntent().getExtras().getString(key)
NOTE: Bundles have "get" and "put" methods for all the primitive types, Parcelables, and Serializables. I just used Strings for demonstrational purposes.
You can use the Bundle from the Intent:
Bundle extras = myIntent.getExtras();
extras.put*(info);
Or an entire bundle:
myIntent.putExtras(myBundle);
Is this what you're looking for?
Write this is the activity you are in:
Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this,NextActivity.class);
intent.putExtras("string_name","string_to_pass");
startActivity(intent);
In the NextActivity.java
Intent getIntent = getIntent();
//call a TextView object to set the string to
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview_id);
text.setText(getIntent.getStringExtra("string_name"));
This works for me, you can try it.
