I have 2 activities.. one is launched via deep links. MainActivity doesn't start DeeplinkActivity. How do I know from MainActivity when DeeplinkActivity finishes.
I have tried setting an intent filter programmatically. then added it to MainActivity then in DeeplinkActivity sendBroadcast.
I was unsuccessful since the broadcast recover method in MainActivity wasn't responding to broadcast sent from Deeplink via sendBroadcast(getIntent())
You can use interface, inside onDestroy() of DeepLink activity call the interface method and implement the method in MainActivity. Check this answer. https://stackoverflow.com/a/19027202/7248394
The function you are looking for is putExtra()
put this in your FirstActivity :
Intent intent = new Intent (FirstActivity.this , SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("your key" , yourBooleanVariable) ;
FirstActivity.this.startActivity(intent) ;
And this code in Your Second Activity :
Intent intent = getIntent() ;
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if(intent.hasExtra("your key")){
Boolean boolean = bundle.getBoolean();
}
you can put everything in a bundle with putExtra and get it from the bundle in the second Activity
Both the Model and Broadcast method work.
I chose to use the Broadcast method much simpler
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private BroadcastReciever receiver;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context p1, Intent p2) {
// TODO: Implement this method
}
};
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(getPackageName() + ".FOO_BAR"));
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
}
DeepLink
public class DeepLink extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
sendBroadcast(new Intent(getPackageName() + ".FOO_BAR"));
}
}
