Intent intent = new Intent(this, YOUR_ACTIVITY_NAME.class);
intent.putExtra("DATA", text);
startActivity(intent);
// Or else you can do whatever you want to do here with that text
}
}
Then in your other activity
String data = getIntent().getStringExtra("DATA");
YOUR_TEXTVIEW_NAME.setText(data);

This is basics of Android so before answering I suggest you to go
through basic tutorials before posting on Stackoberflow.
Now,
Here is how you can access the items from your string_array.
String[] chapters= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.chapters);
Now,here is pseudo code that might help you.
btn1.setOnClickListener(
your_text_view.setText(chapters[0])
)
//Here 0 means your first item, likewise you can access items by their index in
array

string aren't passing between my activities maybe xml issue in android studio

Please help me figure out why my string isn't passing between my activities in android studio. I ran this script on my phone but the string I'm passing from my main activity is passing to my secondary activity. I'm going through an android teach yourself book and I believe the issue is in my XML.

Thanks guys sorry I posted the wrong main activity. The issue was in string.xml the string name was wrong. Thanks!

Android app keeps 'closing', but no errors being shown in logcat

This is my main class that will be forwarding the username to my GoalActivity class. I cannot figure out where the issue is. It keeps crashing for an unknown reason to me. I've followed various tutorials, and I cannot figure out the issue. It seems that I retrieve the username correctly, and then convert it into a string. Then create an Intent and pass the username value with a key.

i.putExtra("USER_NAME", userNameString);
startActivity(i);
In ActivityB:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras == null) {
return;
}
String USERNAME = extras.getString("USER_NAME");

Solved. It was a very careless mistake. I had updated all the other activities in the Manifest but the activity tag for the GoalActivity.java. Thanks guys for all your help!

How to set dynamic string as user select in android?

I'm beginner in Android. I'm trying to make an app where when user tap on button he should go to another activity let say if user tap on button 1 he see new activity with information-A and if he press button 2 he see information-B in same activity he saw information A.
How can I set that.

If I am understanding your question correctly, here's a solution.
You can use the putExtras method of Intent to pass data in key/value pairs to the next activity.
Add the following to activity 1 layout:
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnA"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button A"
android:onClick="goToActivityFromButtonA" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnB"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/btnA"
android:text="Button B"
android:onClick="goToActivityFromButtonB" />
Add the following methods to Activity 1:
public void goToActivityFromButtonA(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);
intent.putExtra("buttonData", "You clicked button A");
startActivity(intent);
}
public void goToActivityFromButtonB(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);
intent.putExtra("buttonData", "You clicked button B");
startActivity(intent);
}
Add the following to Activity 2 layout:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Add the following to the onCreate method of activity 2:
TextView txtText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtText);
txtText.setText(getIntent().getExtras().getString("buttonData"));

I just created a sample project for you:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0S6sddMC_rMSUNieUxkR2lFRzQ/view?usp=sharing

you have first create ui for first activity like this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".FirstActivity" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="77dp"
android:text="Button 1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="110dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="38dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button1"
android:text="Button 2" />
</RelativeLayout>
ui of second activity like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="second actvity" />
</LinearLayout>
activity first code where i set index with intent for both button click(you also put string double ling and message with intent)
package com.example.teststart;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class FirstActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
Button b1,b2;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_first);
b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
b2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
b1.setOnClickListener(this);
b2.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int id=v.getId();
switch(id){
case R.id.button1:
Intent i1=new Intent(FirstActivity.this,secondactivity.class);
i1.putExtra("one", 1);
startActivity(i1);
break;
case R.id.button2:
Intent i2=new Intent(FirstActivity.this,secondactivity.class);
i2.putExtra("one", 2);
startActivity(i2);
break;
}
}
}
and second activity i get that integer value to identify which button is clicked and fire operation on that condition
package com.example.teststart;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class secondactivity extends Activity{
TextView tv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.secondactvity);
tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
int index = extras.getInt("one");
if(index==1){
tv.setText("nformation-A "+index);
}else if(index==2){
tv.setText("nformation-B "+index);
}
}
}

Input modify URL Webview?

users have an activity with an edittext and a button.
in the edittext they have to insert their login ID. and press go to display a other activity with webview loading the right site.
an example. this is the link i want users to visit . www.example.com/time/id=1/type=student
if sombody enters a 2 in the edittext it wil open the times for student id 2 and so on.
this is what i have.
LOGIN
package com.beter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
public class LoginActivity extends Activity {
Button go_btn;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.login);
go_btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.go_btn);
go_btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent myIntent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, WebActivity.class);
LoginActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
and the layout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/idfield"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/id"
android:inputType="number" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/idfield"
android:text="#string/login" />
The Webview Activity
package com.beter;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class WebActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl("http://roosters.gepro-osi.nl/roosters/rooster.php?wijzigingen=1&leerling=116277&type=Leerlingrooster&afdeling=12-13_OVERIG&school=905");
}
}
and again the layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
How do i make the user input. display the good webview. ?

First of all get a reference to your edittext in your Login Activity as
go_btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.go_btn);
ed_txt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.youredittextid);
The change your onClick to
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, WebActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("id", ed_txt.getText());
LoginActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
Then retrive this id in your WebActivity onCreate as
String id = getIntent().getExtras().getString("id");
Then your url will be
String myURL = "www.example.com/time/id="+id+"/type=student";
