Passing a Bundle on startActivity()?

Question

What\'s the correct way to pass a bundle to the activity that is being launched from the current one? Shared properties?

Answer 1

You can pass values from one activity to another activity using the Bundle. In your current activity, create a bundle and set the bundle for the particular value and pass that bundle to the intent.

Intent intent = new Intent(this,NewActivity.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(key,value);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);

Now in your NewActivity, you can get this bundle and retrive your value.

Bundle bundle = getArguments();
String value = bundle.getString(key);

You can also pass data through the intent. In your current activity, set intent like this,

Intent intent = new Intent(this,NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(key,value);
startActivity(intent);

Now in your NewActivity, you can get that value from intent like this,

String value = getIntent().getExtras().getString(key);
