The problem I am having is that it prints out Null on the second activity and not the actual username that is entered. Is the data being passed to the second activity correctly? Does the second activity need more code? Sorry but not the best at programming.
I have this code in my main class
if (username.getText().toString().equals("batman") &&
password.getText().toString().equals("Joker")) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Username and
password is correct", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.*******.loginpage.User");
intent.putExtra("username",String.valueOf(username));
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, User.class));
This is the code inside my second class.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_user);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String username = getIntent().getStringExtra("username");
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);
textView.setText("Welcome" + " " + username );
The problem is your intent in your first class
Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.*******.loginpage.User"); <-- have created an intent
intent.putExtra("username",String.valueOf(username));
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, User.class)); <-- but using new Intent
You have created an intent but you passing new intent. Use your created Intent instead of passing new Intent.
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, User.class);
intent.putExtra("username",String.valueOf(username));
startActivity(intent);
EDIT
Instead using String.valueOf(username) you must use username.getText(), because String.valueOf(username) is method to translate your object to String.
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, User.class);
intent.putExtra("username",username.getText());
startActivity(intent);
Two problems here.
First one is that you have to pass the intent where you put your extra instead of creating new one to startActivity, like
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, User.class);
intent.putExtra("username",username.getText().toString());
startActivity(intent);
Second problem is that username looks like editText, String.valueOf won't pass actual value, use username.getText().toString() like i mentioned in code.

I am trying this intent so I can navigate from one activity to another activity but I'm getting this error `
final Button btnAdd = findViewById(R.id.addEmp);
btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
if(v.getId() == R.id.addEmp){
Intent intent = new
Intent(getCallingActivity(),AddEmployee.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
});`
there is a red line under
(getCallingActivity(),AddEmployee.class);
there error says
cannot resolve constructor
Is anything wrong with this
(getCallingActivity(),AddEmployee.class);
statement?
You need to change your line from
Intent intent = new Intent(getCallingActivity(),AddEmployee.class);
to this:
Intent intent = new Intent(YourActivityName.this,AddEmployee.class);
OR
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AddEmployee.class);
Edit
Whats wrong with getCallingActivty()?
getCallingActivity() returns ComponentName while intent constructor requires Context as a first argument.
Hope this will work
Im making a quiz game with questions on diferent topics
For Example i have activities for these topics: Flags, Capitals, Population, Economy, Continent, etc.
And i have one single ResultActivity to obtain the Score of the quiz.
The ResultActivity has a PLAY AGAIN button.
On the FlagsActivity i have this code:
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ResultActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("RIGHT_ANSWER_COUNT", score);
intent.putExtra("NAME_ACTIVITY", "FlagsActivity");
startActivity(intent);
On the CapitalActivity i have this code:
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ResultActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("RIGHT_ANSWER_COUNT", score);
intent.putExtra("NAME_ACTIVITY", "CapitalActivity");
startActivity(intent);
etc.....
On the ResultActivity i have this code:
activity = getIntent().getStringExtra("NAME_ACTIVITY");
public void playAgain(View view){
if(activity.equals("FlagsActivity")){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), FlagsActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
if(activity.equals("CapitalActivity")){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
if(activity.equals("PopulationActivity")){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), PopulationActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
if(activity.equals("EconomyActivity")){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), EconomyActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
if(activity.equals("ContinentActivity")){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ContinentActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Basically im sending an Intent with a String containing the name of the activity, then on the Result Activity evaluating with "if" the String = That activity name, start the activity.
What i want to do is someting like this:
On the Flags Activity:
Intent(getApplicationContext(),ResultActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(FlagsActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
On the CapitalActivity:
Intent(getApplicationContext(),ResultActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(CapitalActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
On the Result Activity:
activity = getIntent();
public void playAgain(View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), activity);
startActivity(intent);
}
So that i can create as many quiz activities without having to create an "if" statement on the ResultActivity for it to work.
You can pass the class name as a string and use reflection to look up a class object for that type. Something like this:
Class classToLoad = Class.forName(getIntent().getStringExtra("NAME_ACTIVITY"));
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), classToLoad);
startActivity(intent);
I would pass the fully qualified class name to avoid errors.
You could pass the String of activity name to the Result activity, and get its corresponding class name using reflection:
String strActivity = "com.package.FlagsActivity";
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ResultActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("activity_name", strActivity );
startActivity(intent);
String activityName = getIntent().getStringExtra("activity_name");
Class<?> myClass = Class.forName(activityName );
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), myClass);
Something like this.
In the Results Activity
public static void toActivity(Context context, final Class ActivityToOpen){
//whatever awesome code you would like to perform
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ActivityToOpen);
startActivity(intent);
}
In the originating Activity (Flags Activity for example)
ResultsActivity.toActivity(FlagsActivity.this, FlagActivity.class);
Check for typos... I kinda winged this :)
You should be able to call from any originating Activity without if statement.
When you receive the data
String activity;
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null){
activity = bundle.getString("NAME_ACTIVITY");
}
I know how to show text with a button click on the same page, but my question is (since I couldn't find anything on Google): Is it possible when you click a button, that the text shows up on another activity?
Yes, you can
In your FirstActivity execute this when button is clicked:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("data","Messsage to be sent");
startActivity(intent);
In your SecondActivity inside onCreate():
String someData = getIntent().getStringExtra("data");
yourTextView.setText(someData);
If you need pass values between the activities you use this:
String name="aaaa";
Intent intent=new Intent(Main_Activity.this,Other_Activity.class);
intent.putExtra("name", name);
startActivity(intent);
And this code to recovery data on new Activity:
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b = getIntent().getExtras();
String name = b.getString("name");
You can use Intent for this. Intent is used to move on other activity from first activity.
You can use :
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
i.putExtra("YourValueKey", yourData.getText().toString());
then you can get it from your second activity by :
Intent intent = getIntent();
String YourtransferredData = intent.getExtras().getString("YourValueKey");
I am new to android and I have a problem. I want to store intent for an activity but start a different activity. I have a backgroundworker activity that has to store intent for postAnnotationActivity, but has to start InstructionsActivity. If I use intentID.getStringExtra in PostAnnotationActivity then the output = null. Can somebody help?
Part of code from Backgroundworker:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, InstructionsActivity.class);
Intent intentID = new Intent(context, PostAnnotationsActivity.class);
intentID.putExtra(ID, id);
context.startActivity(intent);
part of PostAnnotationActivity:
Intent intentID = getIntent();
String getID = intentID.getStringExtra(BackgroundWorker.ID);
From InstructionsActivity I'll go to StartActivty using startActivity(new Intent(this, ShowPaintingActivity.class)and then to PostAnnotationActivity using startActivity(new Intent(this, PostAnnotationsActivity.class));
Try storing your Intent instead as a string and use shared preferences to store/retrieve your Intent. Like so.
SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("myPrefsKey", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putString("StoredIntent", "String you want to store here");
editor.commit();
Modify your code as following:
In Backgroundworker:
Intent intentID = new Intent(context, InstructionsActivity.class);
intentID.putExtra("ID", id);
context.startActivity(intentID);
In InstructionsActivity:
Intent intentID = getIntent();
String getID = intentID.getStringExtra("ID");
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ShowPaintingActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("ID", getID);
context.startActivity(intent);
In ShowPaintingActivity:
Intent intentID = getIntent();
String getID = intentID.getStringExtra("ID");
Intent intent = new Intent(context, PostAnnotationActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("ID", getID);
context.startActivity(intent);
In PostAnnotationActivity:
Intent intentID = getIntent();
String getID = intentID.getStringExtra("ID");
And another better solution is, as user1375469 suggested, you can save value to preferences in Backgroundworker and then retrieve it from PostAnnotation Activity.
Your are getting the output null because you are not starting the Activity i.e.
context.startActivity(intentID);
while you are passing the data into it..
and you want to go to my InstuctionsActivity but already store some data from BackgroundWorker for PostAnnotationActivity....
So, you have to use SharedPreference for this purpose....
Having issues with sending multiple pieces of data (in this case, three arrays(two int, one string)) over to a second activity page.
I am unsure of how this is done. What I would like to know is how to send these arrays in one Start Activity method, if that is possible. My current code is:
public void onClickGoToTeamSummary(View view)
{
Intent intentTeamNames = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
Intent intentTeamPoints = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
Intent intentTeamGoals = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
intentTeamNames.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
intentTeamPoints.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
intentTeamGoals.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);
startActivity(intentTeamPoints);
startActivity(intentTeamNames);
startActivity(intentTeamGoals);
}
I had tried:
startActivity(intentTeamPoints, intentTeamNames, intentTeamGoals);
to no avail. To help, my getIntent in the next activity looks like this:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);
Intent intentClubNames = getIntent();
String[] club_names = intentClubNames.getStringArrayExtra("footballClubs");
Intent intentClubPoints = getIntent();
int[] team_points = intentClubPoints.getIntArrayExtra("clubPoints");
Intent intentTeamGoals = getIntent();
int[] club_goals = intentTeamGoals.getIntArrayExtra("clubGoals");
}
The code itself works provided only one startActivity is used. I would like to know how to pass all my arrays into the second activity page through one activity if anyone can help me.
Try this..
You can send all values in single Intent
public void onClickGoToTeamSummary(View view)
{
Intent intentTeamNames = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
intentTeamNames.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
intentTeamNames.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
intentTeamNames.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);
startActivity(intentTeamNames);
}
and
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);
Intent intentClubNames = getIntent();
String[] club_names = intentClubNames.getStringArrayExtra("footballClubs");
int[] team_points = intentClubNames.getIntArrayExtra("clubPoints");
int[] club_goals = intentClubNames.getIntArrayExtra("clubGoals");
}
You don't use multiple Intents but multiple extras.
// create your Intent as normal
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
// then you can add multiple extras
myIntent.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
myIntent.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
myIntent.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);
startActivity(myIntent);
Then receiving them would be the same. You would just receive the one Intent and use the key as normal for each extra Array.
