I have this application with 2 classes, in the first class I define a list array wich I want to access in my second class, how do I do that? class one (with the array extends listActivity and the other class extends Activity). I don't think it's nessecary to post my code as I believe there is a quick solution to this I just don't know it. Allthough I can post it if you can't help me without seeing the actual code.
You can use a custom ApplicationContext to share global state between activities - see here for more details...
you can pass ArrayList<String> 's across activities using intentExtras.
ArrayList<String> myArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
// populate your array -> if you want to send objects make a string form of them
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, Activit2.class);
mtIntent.putStringArrayList("my_array_list", myArrayList);
In Activity2
Intent intent = getIntent();
List<String> stringMediaList = intent.getStringArrayListExtra("my_array_list");
for (int i = 0; i < stringMediaList.size(); i++) {
//reconstruct object if needed
}
this will work if you dont want to use parcelable

I'm trying to transfer ArrayList between activities, but nothing I've tried works as well.
This was my best shot, but this didn't work either.
I'm calling the external action here:
getComics getComicInfo = new getComics(charName, pageNum);
getComicInfo.execute();
getIntentData()
and here i'm trying to put data, but the problem is due the fact that this is an external action, so I can't shift through activits.
if(counter == comicInfoObject.length()){
Log.v("check arr length =>" , Integer.toString(comicList.size()));
Intent i = new Intent();
i.putExtra("comicArrayList", (ArrayList<Comics>)comicList);
}
and here i'm tring to retrive the data, but it doesn't get inside the "if"
public void getIntentData(){
Intent i = getIntent();
if(i != null && i.hasExtra("comicArrayList")){
comicList2 = i.getParcelableExtra("comicArrayList");
int size = comicList2.size();
}
}
first code is where I call an external class that using api and in the bottom line creates the arrayList
second code is inside the external class, where I'm trying to pass the arrayList with putExtra
third code is where i'm tring to retrive the data after getIntentData().
Pack at the sender Activity
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(<KEY>, ArrayList<Comics extends Parcelable> list);
startActivity(intent);
Extract at the receiver Activity
getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra(<KEY>);
You need make a Comics class that implements Parcelable, then use put ParcelableArrayListExtrato pass arraylist.
Here is a sample link for Pass data between activities implements Parcelable
However be careful if your array list too big, you could get intent exception, for this case you could think about a static reference to store your array list.
I am trying to send an array of objects to a new intent, but the problem is that I don't know how to send the whole array at once. The method I managed to get it working is adding object by object, in a for loop, and in the second activity I have to get them one by one, something like this:
Main activity:
Intent newIntent = new Intent(mainA.this, secondA.class);
for(int i=0;i<numberOfObjects;i++)
newIntent.putExtra("object"+i,myObjects[i]);
newIntent.putExtra("length", x);
startActivity(newIntent);
Second activity:
Serializable n = getIntent().getSerializableExtra("length");
int x = Integer.parseInt(n.toString());
myObjects = new objClass[x];
for(int i=0;i<x;i++)
myObjects[i] = (objClass) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("object"+i);
Even if this method works, and gets me the right results, isn't there a better/faster/cleaner solution?(I searched a lot, but haven't found a better way, maybe I don't know what exactly to look for).
Make your object serializable and put all objects in a Arraylist and send it.ArrayList itself implements serializable.
Intent newIntent = new Intent(mainA.this, secondA.class);
newIntent.putExtra("list",listOfObjets);
startActivity(newIntent);
Second Activity:
ArrayList<YourObjects> list = (ArrayList<YourObjects>)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("list");
Hi you can try this as well.. Create setter getter class which will set and get your object. next create the array list of your setter getter class.next add all objects into arraylist using set method in for loop. next add that arraylist object into bundle using setArguments.
Same you can access that bundle using getArguments that's it.
I have a problem with with sharing data between two different activities. I have data like :
int number
String name
int number_2
int time
int total
I'm trying to make something like order list with this set of data . So it will take one set of data , then back to previous activity , move forward and again add data to it .
I have an idea of making it in array of object - but data inside was cleared after changing activity.
How can I make it ?
I don't know if and how to add Array of object to SharedPreferences , and get value of one element from there.
You should have a look at the documentation of the Intent(s) if you want to do that on the fly associating a key to the value(s) that you want to pass to your second activity.
Anyway, you can think any(sharedpref, database,...) way to pass your parameters but for those kind of things it's a convention and a good practice to follow that.
Don't used share preferences for this...Use the singleton pattern, extend Application, or just make a class with static variables and update them...
You can use .putExtra but since you are communicating with more than one activity the above suggestions are probably the best.
public class ShareData {
private String s;
private int s;
private static ShareData shareData = new ShareData();
private ShareData(){}
public static ShareData getInstance(){ return shareData}
//create getters and setters;
}
Why not to use Intents
Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, (destination activity)SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("some_key", value);
intent.putExtra("some_other_key", "a value");
startActivity(intent);
in the second activity
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
int value = bundle.getInt("some_key");
String value2 = bundle.getString("some_other_key");

I have a List in one of my activities and need to pass it to the next activity.
private List<Item> selectedData;
I tried putting this in intent by :
intent.putExtra("selectedData", selectedData);
But it is not working. What can be done?
Like howettl mentioned in a comment, if you make the object you are keeping in your list serializeable then it become very easy. Then you can put it in a Bundle which you can then put in the intent. Here is an example:
class ExampleClass implements Serializable {
public String toString() {
return "I am a class";
}
}
... */ Where you wanna create the activity /*
ExampleClass e = new ExampleClass();
ArrayList<ExampleClass> l = new ArrayList<>();
l.add(e);
Intent i = new Intent();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putSerializeable(l);
i.putExtra("LIST", b);
startActivity(i);
You have to instantiate the List to a concrete type first. List itself is an interface.
If you implement the Parcelable interface in your object then you can use the putParcelableArrayListExtra() method to add it to the Intent.
i think ur item should be parcelable. and you should use arraylist instead of list.
then use intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra
This is what worked for me.
//first create the list to put objects
private ArrayList<ItemCreate> itemsList = new ArrayList<>();
//on the sender activity
//add items to list where necessary also make sure the Class model ItemCreate implements Serializable
itemsList.add(theInstanceOfItemCreates);
Intent goToActivity = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
goToActivity.putExtra("ITEMS", itemsList);
startActivity(goToActivity);
//then on second activity
Intent i = getIntent();
receivedItemsList = (ArrayList<ItemCreate>) i.getSerializableExtra("ITEMS");
Log.d("Print Items Count", receivedItemsList.size()+"");
for (Received item:
receivedItemList) {
Log.d("Print Item name: ", item.getName() + "");
}
I hope it works for you too.
Everyone says that you can use Serializable, but none mentioned that you can just cast the value to Serializable instead of list.
intent.putExtra("selectedData", (Serializable) selectedData);
Core's lists implementations already implement Serializable, so you're not bound to a specific implementation of list, but remember that you still can catch ClassCastException.
I am facing a problem with sending data through the bundle.
Intent toAudio = new Intent(TourDescription.this, Audio.class);
toAudio.putParcelableArrayListExtra("poi", arraypoi);
startActivity(toAudio);
here am sending arraypoi which is an ArrayList. This ArrayList contains a set of values.
And in the receiving class, I have like this
listOfPOI = getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra("poi");
Collections.sort(listOfPOI);
where listOfPOI is also an array list.
The problem am facing is, I am not able to receive values for 3 particular variables in listOfPOI (coming as null), rest all values are coming proper.
While sending the bundle, I mean in arraypoi also I am able to send all the values correctly but the problem is while receiving it.
Note: My class is implemented as parcelable only.
Any answer for this?
There are two workarounds in my point of view.
First:
You need to make YourOwnArrayList as subclass of ArrayList<YourObject> and implements Parcelable.
Tutorial Here
Second:
pass your Object using for() loop. like this.
Intent toAudio = new Intent(TourDescription.this, Audio.class);
toAudio.putExtra("SIZE", arraypoi.size());
for(int i=0; i<arraypoi.size(); i++)
toAudio.putExtra("POI"+i, arraypoi.get(i));
startActivity(toAudio);
and while getting in other class
Bundle data = getIntent().getExtras();
int size=data.getInt("SIZE");
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
listOfPOI.add((YOUR_OBJECT) data.getParcelable("POI"+i));
YOUR_OBJECT is the class name of your Object.
