Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who_null,request=1,result=-1, data =Intent{( has extras )}} to activity;NullPointerException

Question

I have two classes these names are Courses and MainActivity .MainActivity has LAUNCHER activity and it has Gridlayout. Courses has DEFAULT activity.When GridLayout clicked Courses Interface is openning and user is filling the views according to his or her course program so Courses object is created.I would like to send this object to MainActivity class.When I sending this object I'm getting NullPointerException.I tried to solve this problem but I can not.I need a proffesional help.

here is the Courses.java

package com.example.classprogram;

I think problem is in the these three code but I can not solve.Please help me thanks you in advance for helping.

Intent x = getIntent();
Courses _course = (Courses) x.getParcelableExtra("course");         
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), _course.getCourse_name(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 1

in onActivityResult method, there is a paramater for Intent.

Do this in onActivityResult:-

        Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();

they you can retrieve the extra's using this bundle object

Answer 2

Call super first thing in onActivityResult():

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    //first call super
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    //rest of your code
    if(requestCode==THIS) {

And indeed instead of

Intent x = getIntent();

do:

Intent x = data;
