Passing data from second activity to first activity - android

I am trying to pass Bundle from second activity to the first(launch) activity. In order not to get NPE on launch, I am checking if bundle != null, however, it looks, like even after returning from second activity with Bundle, it still doesn't run the "if" body.
Here is my part of code of first activity
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle!=null) {
Player player = new Player();
player.setStatus(bundle.getInt("Status"));
player.setName(bundle.getString("Name"));
addPlayerToList(player);
Log.e("Player with a name " + player.getName(), "Has been created");
}
And code of second activity
submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
name = nameEditText.getText().toString();
if (defaultRadioButton.isChecked()) {
status=0;
} else if (driverRadioButton.isChecked()) {
status=1;
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Suka viberi galochku", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),StartActivity.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("Status",status);
bundle.putString("Name", name);
Log.d("Object " + name, "Status: " + status);
startActivity(i);
}
});
Thanks for any help/advice

Use startActivityForResult() for this situation.
1) You open second activity from the first using this method, not startActivity()
2) Do whatever you want in the second activity
3) Set result bundle
4) Finish activity
5) Open bundle in the first activity
In your case it will look like:
1) Call second activity like this:
Intent i = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_SECOND_ACTIVITY); // request code const
2-4)
submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
name = nameEditText.getText().toString();
if (defaultRadioButton.isChecked()) {
status=0;
} else if (driverRadioButton.isChecked()) {
status=1;
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Suka viberi galochku", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
final Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("Status", status); // set values
returnIntent.putExtra("Name", name);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, returnIntent); // set result code
finish(); // finish this activity and go back to the previous one
}
});
5) Override this method in the first activity
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch(requestCode) {
case REQUEST_SECOND_ACTIVITY: // same request code const
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
Player player = new Player();
player.setStatus(data.getIntExtra("Status"));
player.setName(data.getStringExtra("Name"));
addPlayerToList(player);
}
break;
}
}

try Intent.putExtra() instead of putting data into a bundle, and use Intent.getStringExtra() to get a String data;

In your code, there is no code to put your bundle into intent. actually you never pass the bundle to first activity. you can use this answer to solve your problem.
good luck!

onActivityResult() not working on Android

I'm trying to use onActivityResult to send a title, I've looked at the google implementation for the same task but it doesn't work me. Can someone help?
code for onActivityResult in mainActivity.
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
System.out.println("There is something coming to this function" + requestCode);
if(requestCode == NEW_TITLE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Title title = new Title(data.getStringExtra(notesSection.EXTRA_REPLY));
mTitleViewModel.insert(title);
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.empty_not_saved, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
code in my notesSection activity.
finishFab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// System.out.println("Button Has Been Clicked From Notes Section");
Intent replyIntent = new Intent();
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(titleEdit.getText())){
// System.out.println("Empty?");
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, replyIntent);
}else{
// System.out.println("Sending Something Supposedly");
String title = titleEdit.getText().toString();
// System.out.println("Sending " + title);
replyIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_REPLY, title);
setResult(RESULT_OK, replyIntent);
}
finish();
// startActivity(new Intent(notesSection.this, MainActivity.class));
}
});
FYI: When I print something in the onActivityResult function, nothing shows up on my run terminal, I don't know why this is, but I don't think the function is being reached for some reason. I will send more code if necessary.
Thanks.
In your first activity try starting second activity like this
static int NEW_TITLE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
---
---
---
// i assume you are starting activity on some button click
// so add following line in you button on click event
startActivityForResult(new Intent(MainActivity.this,notesSection.class),NEW_TITLE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
}
then override following method in your FIRST ACTIVITY
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, #Nullable Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == NEW_TITLE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE)
{
// do whatever you want
}
}
Also update your finish fab on click listener
finishFab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent replyIntent = new Intent();
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(titleEdit.getText())){
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, replyIntent);
}
else{
replyIntent.putExtra("TITLE", titleEdit.getText().toString());
setResult(RESULT_OK, replyIntent);
}
finish();
}
});
Actually, this procedure has changed recently. You might want to take a look at the official documentation so that you can implement it according to your needs.

Activity always returns RESULT_CANCELLED despite manually setting the result as RESULT_OK

I am writing a component that allows user to pick a location based on the place indicated by the location picker. One of the requirements is to send the LatLng object back from the map activity to the activity that called the former. The problem is that returned result code is always RESULT_CANCELLED, despite setting it explicitly to RESULT_OK. Here's the code:
Calling activity:
public void getLocationBtn(View view) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, PickLocationActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
location = data.getParcelableExtra("location");
Log.d(TAG, "gotLocation: " + location);
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Location not chosen", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Called activity:
btnFind.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
centerLatLang = mMap.getProjection().getVisibleRegion().latLngBounds.getCenter();
Button doneBtn = findViewById(R.id.locationPickerDoneBtn);
doneBtn.setEnabled(true);
}
});
}
public void doneBtn(View view) {
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("location", centerLatLang);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, returnIntent);
finish();
}
btnFind get the coordinates, doneBtn confirms user's choice and comes back to the previous activity.
I have already tried replacing Intent returnIntent = new Intent(); with getIntent(), but it didn't work; the returned bundle was null.
it happen when your activity is using singleTask launch mode. so i recommand if you have below line in your manifest activity tab please remove it.
android:launchMode="singleInstance"

how to properly use intent? Android beginner

I am a beginner in android and I am trying to learn how to use intent.
In my code, I am trying to send 2 integers to a different activity and perform some calculation and return back in the Main activity with the answer.
This is my main activity and with a click of a button it should send 10, 50 to my calculate class and from there I will click operator buttons like add, multiply, divide and send back the answer here in main activity.
So far I am able to received these numbers to my Calculate class and perform operation there but I am not sure how to get back here in main activity with the answers.
Main Activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(getIntent() != null){
String msg = getIntent().getStringExtra("MSG");
int result = getIntent().getIntExtra("result", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void onClick(View v){
Intent i = new Intent(this, Calculate.class);
i.putExtra("MSG", "Receive two numbers : ");
i.putExtra("second", 10);
i.putExtra("first", 50);
startActivity(i);
}
}
Calculate class
public class Calculate extends Activity{
private int calc;
private int first;
private int second;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
Intent i = getIntent();
if(getIntent() != null){
String msg = i.getStringExtra("MSG");
first = i.getIntExtra("first", 0);
second = i.getIntExtra("second", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + first + " and " + second, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void add(View v){
calc = first + second;
Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra("MSG", "Answer");
i.putExtra("result",calc);
}
}
you can use startActivityForResult and onActivityResult methods. fist in main activity you call startActivityForResult that means you want to get result from secondActivity (Calculate activity) and then override onActivityResult in main activity to get result.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(getIntent() != null){
String msg = getIntent().getStringExtra("MSG");
int result = getIntent().getIntExtra("result", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void onClick(View v){
Intent i = new Intent(this, Calculate.class);
i.putExtra("MSG", "Receive two numbers : ");
i.putExtra("second", 10);
i.putExtra("first", 50);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
String result=data.getStringExtra("result");
}
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
//Write your code if there's no result
}
}
}//onActivityResult
}
public class Calculate extends Activity{
private int calc;
private int first;
private int second;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
Intent i = getIntent();
if(getIntent() != null){
String msg = i.getStringExtra("MSG");
first = i.getIntExtra("first", 0);
second = i.getIntExtra("second", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + first + " and " + second, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void add(View v){
calc = first + second;
Intent returnIntent = Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
returnIntent.putExtra("result",calc );
setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);
finish();
}
}
public class Calculate extends Activity{
private int calc;
private int first;
private int second;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
Intent i = getIntent();
if(getIntent() != null){
String msg = i.getStringExtra("MSG");
first = i.getIntExtra("first", 0);
second = i.getIntExtra("second", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + first + " and " + second, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void add(View v){
calc = first + second;
Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra("MSG", "Answer");
i.putExtra("result",calc);
startActivity(i);
}
}
You need a startActivity(i); in add() function.
You can do this by
onActivityResult()
method of android intent.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(data.getExtras().containsKey("widthInfo")){
width.setText(data.getStringExtra("widthInfo"));
}
if(data.getExtras().containsKey("heightInfo")){
height.setText(data.getStringExtra("heightInfo"));
}
}
See these links for more info:
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result.html
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Android/UI/CheckActivityresultandonActivityResult.htm
http://www.mybringback.com/android-sdk/12204/onactivityresult-android-tutorial/
It looks like you should be using startActivityForResult() here.
So, in your MainActivity, your onClick() would be modified to call startActivityForResult():
public void onClick(View v){
Intent i = new Intent(this, Calculate.class);
i.putExtra("MSG", "Receive two numbers : ");
i.putExtra("second", 10);
i.putExtra("first", 50);
startActivityForResult(i, 100); //modified
}
Then in MainActivity, you would also add onActivityResult to get the result:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 100 && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
String msg = data.getStringExtra("MSG");
int result = data.getIntExtra("result", 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "" + msg + result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Then, in the Calculate Activity, you would calculate the result, and send it back to MainActivity in an Intent, which will send the the MSG and result to onActivityResult() in MainActivity:
public void add(View v){
calc = first + second;
Intent i = new Intent(); //modified
i.putExtra("MSG", "Answer");
i.putExtra("result",calc);
setResult(RESULT_OK,i); //added
finish(); //added
}
Note that the reason it would be better for you to use startActivityForResult() here is that it would prevent having to add multiple Activities onto the back stack.
Say for example, you do two calculations (two trips from MainActivity to Calculate and back).
If you just used startActivity(), your back stack would then look like this:
MainActivity->Calculate->MainActivity->Calculate->MainActivity
And, it would just keep growing the more calculations you do.
Using startActivityForResult(), you are always just adding an instance of Calculate to the back stack, and then popping it and returning to the same instance of MainActivity. So, your back stack would always be just:
MainActivity
or...
MainActivity->Calculate
depending on which Activity you are currently in. As you can see, this is a huge improvement over the first option, which just keeps growing as you do more calculations.

setResult in intent para parent Activity passing

i am not understanding what is going on in this piece of code. Need help please.
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
RSSNewsReaderPBActivity.class);
// send result code 100 to notify about product update
setResult(100, i);
startActivity(i);
and why use int value in it what it do.
This is method of the code
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
String url = args[0];
rssFeed = rssParser.getRSSFeed(url);
Log.d("rssFeed", " " + rssFeed);
if (rssFeed != null) {
Log.e("RSS URL",
rssFeed.getTitle() + "" + rssFeed.getLink() + ""
+ rssFeed.getDescription() + ""
+ rssFeed.getLanguage());
RSSDatabaseHandler rssDb = new RSSDatabaseHandler(
getApplicationContext());
WebSite site = new WebSite(rssFeed.getTitle(),
rssFeed.getLink(), rssFeed.getRSSLink(),
rssFeed.getDescription());
rssDb.addSite(site);
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
RSSNewsReaderPBActivity.class);
// send result code 100 to notify about product update
setResult(100, i);
startActivity(i);
return null;
} else {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
textViewMessage
.setText("Rss url not found. Please check the url or try again");
}
});
}
return null;
}
In this case, the setResult is wrongly used : setResult must be called before finishing an activity, it will inform the parent activity that your current one has worked well or if it had a problem (considering the parent activity has started the new one with startActivityForResult)
Let's say you have an ActivityOne that will launch an ActivityTwo:
ActivityOne:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_REQUEST_CODE);
in ActivityTwo at the moment you want to close the activity:
if(everything_is_ok)
setResult(1);
else
setResult(0);
finish();
In ActivityOne, you will get notified that ActivityTwo has been finished:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if(requestCode == MY_REQUEST_CODE)
{
if(resultCode == 1)
//everything went fine
else
//something went wrong
}
}
Hope this helps!

How to send datafrom one activity to another in Android? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do I pass data between Activities in Android application?
(53 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
My app has 2 activites.
The first activity is just a simple form where a user enters course information(class title, professor..etc.) the first activity passes the data which is supposed to be stored in a list.
In the second activity. The problem is that only the first course gets stored in the list, after the first time nothing new gets added to the second activity.
How can i do this ?
In your first activity :
Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("login", jObj.getString(KEY_LOGIN));
intent.putExtra("mdp", jObj.getString(KEY_MDP));
intent.putExtra("prenom", jObj.getString(KEY_PRENOM));
intent.putExtra("nom", jObj.getString(KEY_NOM));
intent.putExtra("mail", jObj.getString(KEY_MAIL));
intent.putExtra("tel", jObj.getString(KEY_TEL));
startActivity(intent);
In your second activity :
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent != null) {
login = intent.getStringExtra("login");
mdp = intent.getStringExtra("mdp");
items.add(intent.getStringExtra("login"));
items.add(intent.getStringExtra("prenom"));
items.add(intent.getStringExtra("nom"));
items.add(intent.getStringExtra("mail"));
items.add(intent.getStringExtra("tel"));
}
Generally you can pass data from one Activity to another with an Intent like this:
In your first Activity:
// Create your Intent
Intent intent = new Intent(context, TargetActivity.class);
// Now you can add extras to the intent, you identify extras with a String key
intent.putExtra("text", someString);
intent.putExtra("amount", someInteger);
// Then you start your Activity with this Intent
startActivity(intent);
In your second Activity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Only get data from Intent when the Activity is new
if(savedInstanceState == null) {
Intent intent = getIntent();
// Now you read the values from the Intent
String someString = intent.getStringExtra("text");
int someInteger = intent.getIntExtra("amount", 0);
}
}
hey its simple look at the code
for sending
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Confirmation.class)
i.putExtra("name",etName.getText().toString()));
i.putExtra("pass",etPass.getText().toString());
startActivity(i);
for recieving in next activity
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String strEmployeeID="";
if (extras != null)
{
String value = extras.getString("name");
String value1 = extras.getString("pass");
//
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), value, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
strEmployeeID = value;
strEmployeePass = value1;
}
just simply do it like that:
passing data from 1st activity to 2nd activity:
Intent intent = new Intent(yourafirstctivity.this,Yoursecondactivity.class);
intent.putExtra("yourkey", yourvalue);
intent.putExtra("yourkey", yourvalue);
intent.putExtra("yourkey", yourvalue);
startActivity(intent);
and get the data from 1st activity to 2nd activity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.yourlayout);
String yourstring = getIntent().getExtras().getString("yourkey");
String yourstring = getIntent().getExtras().getString("yourkey");
String yourstring = getIntent().getExtras().getString("yourkey");
}
if you want to send data between two Activities .You must call following one,
startActivityForResult(getcontext(), SecondActivity.class);
On calling this,Activity starts the second.In turn, second response to this intent and reply back with necessary data.
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) {
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(),
ar.getResultData());
}
if (requestCode >= 0) {
mStartedActivity = true;
}
} else {
if (options != null) {
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this method for compatibility with
// existing applications that may have overridden it.
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
}
}
}
Following one you must call this on the First Activity (from where the intent called).It helps to recieves the reply data from second Activity.
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if(!isFeatureInstalled(getContext()))
return;
if(requestCode == GET_REMINDER_DETAILS && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
mFilled = true;
fillDataFromIntent(data);
checkALertRequired.setChecked(true);
}
}
