I am having two string arrays inside First Activity - A , now I need to pass both the arrays to the second_activity - B. How do I do it ?
I know about the Intent kind of concept in Android and already passed just single variable value to another activity, but i haven't implement the concept of passing string arrays between activities, I have already surfed net for the same.
What might be a possible solution?
Bundle b=new Bundle();
b.putStringArray(key, new String[]{value1, value2});
Intent i=new Intent(context, Class);
i.putExtras(b);
Hope this will help you.
In order to read:
Bundle b=this.getIntent().getExtras();
String[] array=b.getStringArray(key);
Not directly an answer to the question but you can also use .putStringArrayListExtra() in your bundle. It is more flexible than sending string array.
Bundle b=new Bundle();
b.putStringArrayListExtra("URL_ARRAY_LIST",
myStringArrayList);
Intent i=new Intent(context, Class);
i.putExtras(b);
Then you can get this arrayList as follows:
ArrayList<String> urls;
urls = getIntent().getStringArrayListExtra("URL_ARRAY_LIST");
Intents carry data into a key-value map, where 'key' is a String name identifier that you choose when storing the data into the Intent. When reading that data, you request the same 'key'. You can store various data types in a single Intent.
To send arrayList Data to another activity,
(1) Code to create intent in first activity:
Intent intent = new Intent(firstActivityName.this, SecondActivityName.class);
intent.putExtra("Array", ArrayListName);
startActivity(intent);
(2) Code to get data using bundle in second activity:
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
arrayList = (ArrayList <String>) bundle.getSerializable("Array");
