Removing extras from passed-in Intent

Question

I have a search screen which can be launched from clicking on a \"name\" field of another screen.

If the user follows this workflow, I add an extra to the Intent\'s Extr

Answer 1

I have it working.

It appears getExtras() creates a copy of the Intent's extras.

If I use the following line, this works fine:

getIntent().removeExtra("search");

Source code of getExtras()

/**
 * Retrieves a map of extended data from the intent.
 *
 * @return the map of all extras previously added with putExtra(),
 * or null if none have been added.
 */
public Bundle getExtras() {
    return (mExtras != null)
            ? new Bundle(mExtras)
            : null;
}
