How to pass data between activities in an Android application?
The main activity includes some variables with set values. I created a sub-activity with the form which has to be filled with the data from main activity so I guess the data have to be passed to the sub-activity when it starts. how to pass the variable values to the sub-activity from the main activity?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an app which basically navigates through a xml-feed. When I parse the feed or let's say the list, then each (list)item becomes a model. All the models are wrapped up in an array list. Now, when the user clicks on a list item, the underlying model is going to be serialized and sent as IntentExtra to the next Activity (e.g. a deeper sub list). (Originally I asked here a different question. The solution was not related to Serializable and wouldn't help anybody. However MatteKarla gave an interesting input. Thats why I decided to rewrite this question.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to pass a custom object to one activity from another. What I would like to use is the HashMap of WeakReferences, but the description isn't clear, at least to me. From above URL: "A HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects. You can also use a HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects with Long keys. When an activity wants to pass an object to another activity, it simply puts the object in the map and sends the key (which is a unique Long based on a counter or time stamp) to the recipient activity via intent extras. The recipient activity retrieves the object using this key."
MyObject object = new MyObject(); HashMap map = new HashMap(); WeakReference reference = new WeakReference(object); map.put(reference.hashCode(), reference);
Intent i = new Intent(myIntent); i.putExtra(map);
I know this is probably way off but I can't figure out how this is intended to be implemented based on the description. Are the keys hashcodes, user defined, or what? It sounds like all that is passed is a HashMap containing the key values but how is the object retrieved with just the key? I couldn't find any code examples or useful documentation on this method of passing objects
i have a scenario of login page after logging in there will be sign out button on each activity. on clicking signout i will be passing session id of signed in user to signout. can any one guide me how to keep session id available on all activities??

- Activity A calls Activity B
- User selects item in Activity B
- Activity B passes an object to Activity A
How do I accomplish this? And in which method do I read in the passed object in Activity A?
How can we pass checked box status from one activity to the calling activity? For e.g., I have two activities. The first activity calls the second activity that has a listview with checkboxed items and two buttons, 'OK' and 'CANCEL'. The second activity has to pass the names of list items that are checked to the calling acitivity. I am not able to figure out how to do this efficiently?
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday I met a problem, I need to pass a ArrayList<MyClass> from an activity to another. I dont know what the Intent exactly do when I use putExtra to pass in an ArrayList<MyClass> object. I guess MyClass need to implement Parcelable interface, so I just did it. But still, it does not work. Maybe I need to create a Bundle and then use Bundle's putParcelableArrayList method to put my ArrayList<MyClass> object in, and then pass this bundle as parameter of putExtra to the intent. So crazy! I am lazy, I just want to pass an ArrayList<MyClass> object simply, is there a simple way??

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Object that I need to be able to pass between Activites. It implements Parcelable and I've written all the code related to that. The problem is that one of the properties of the Object is a Drawable - and really needs to be. Unfortunately, Drawable is neither Parcelable or Serializable. I don't understand how to pass it. The reason for having the Drawable is that I need to cache an Image that I've downloaded from the internet at runtime. I don't want to cache the images on the filesystem, since this would potentially end up using up a lot of space over time. I'm putting the image into a Drawable so that I can easily put it into an ImageView.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application using services and Remote interface. I have a question about passing the reference of my Remote interface throughout Activities. In my first Activity, I bind my service with my activity, in order to get a reference to my interface I use
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName arg0, IBinder service) {
x = X.Stub.asInterface(service);
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
};
x being the reference to my interface. Now I would like to access this interface from another activity, I see two ways to do it but I don't know which one is the "proper" way to do it: passing x with my intent when I call the new Activity redo this.bindService(new Intent(y.this,z.class), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); in the onCreate() of my new Activity
I'm working on an application that requires non-serializable objects to be passed between Activities. The following page suggests using a HashMap of WeakReferences to accomplish this:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/framework.html
Is this solution safe? I know Activities are completely destroyed and recreated when the screen orientation changes. Couldn't those weakly referenced objects get GCed in the split second when the screen is rotated, since they wouldn't be referenced elsewhere at that point?
I was just on there yesterday i go into browse tonight and now all of a sudden it says pass world invalid from last night till this morning i tried typing in the little letters they had and I cant read it so I go to the google site.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on an application and one feature that would make it really useful is the ability to share some information, but the other device may not be expecting the data to be sent.For example, if I am reading a really good book, and I realize that a friend may like it, I could use an application to send the data to him, so he could order the book from Amazon.But, since he isn't expecting the data, I would hate for the application to be polling a server every so often, as that will be needlessly draining the battery.Ideally it would be great if there was a way to make a phone call to the target device, send a data packet and end the call.If it could be done and prevent the phone from ringing, then it would be very useful to me.I am curious if there is some way to send data between devices without polling.

Welcome screen <-> Main Screen <-> Startup routines <-> Processing data <-> Settings
Is it normal/recommended to have more than one activity in Android app? in my opinion, it's somehow strange to have this model of data exchange inside application
We're designing an Android app that has several activities which are working in a wizard like way - user should pass from the activity #1 to activity #5 to get to the final activity (#6).
Since we know an activity can be suddenly terminated by OS on low memory we used Application class as a static storage for keeping the data the user inputs on "wizard" activities and other data our app needs for the whole session.
Unfortunately we've discovered this approach fails - looks like the Application class instance is also can be killed by OS (this was specifically discovered on Android 1.6 versus 1.5). Are our expectations wrong on this approach (we think Application class instance always lives for the whole app session)?
So the question is - what is the best practices on Android to keep data between activities deathes/restarts for the whole application session?
How can I pass a Object: ArrayList from one Activity to another? Seems that intent cannot hold custom ones except ArrayList. As a kind of hack, I use a static member: staticResultList = new ArrayList<SingleExamResult>(m_examResults); and Get it in the following Activity by: m_examResults = DoExam.staticResultList; It's not the correct way obviously, any 'common' approaches?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn my Android app,I start a new activity with startActivityForResult(). I get the result in onActivityResult() perfectly. My problem is that there is a small bit of data that I know before I start the activity and I need that value to be available in onActivityResult(), too. I tried attaching it to my intent as an extra, but it wasn't attached to the intent that is available when the activity returns the result. I made it work by storing the data in a global variable, but I really don't like that approach. Is there a better, right way to pass data through an activity (instead of just to it)?

Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
String total = b.getString("GrandTotal");
TextView grandtotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.grand_total);
grandtotal.setText("Welcome ," + total );
Here the value is pass from 1st to 2nd activity successfully. Now i have to pass these value to third activity.how can i do.
Now this is my 2nd activity:
if(isUserValidated && isPasswordValidated)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(CustomerLogin.this,PayPalIntegrationActivit y.class);
intent.putExtra("GrandTotal", total);

startActivity(intent);
}
This is my third activity:
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
String total = b.getString("GrandTotal");
TextView grandtotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.check);
grandtotal.setText("Welcome ," + total );
Now i have to run the app means am getting the total value on 2nd activity.but am not getting the total value in 3rd activity.
This is my full source code:

So I am doing like described on Android documentation.Only one thing I am missing here - where and how should be defined mResults so I could access it from both Activity and Thread, and also would be able to modify as needed? If I define it as final in MyActivity, I can't change it anymore in Thread - as it is shown in example.

But I don't know how to handle this in the child to check who is the parent. The above code is used on one of the parents,, is there somehow I can use "EQ_CODE_SELECT_LOCATION"? Also I wounder how is possible to send data to a child activity?
