Android: Passing Date in putExtra

Question

I\'m launching an activity and would like to pass a Date(Time) value to it. I\'ve passed all my other parameters with i.putExtra(\"noteName\", \"Hello Wor

Answer 1

I've simply used

i.putExtra("noteDate",myDate);

and then on the activity I used:

Date dt = new Date(extras.getString("noteDate"));

and it works like a charm!? Is this dangerous? To assume the date will always be parsed correctly on all devices?
