getArguments() in Activity Class?

Question

I'm still learning AS & java and recently bought an app code but it has "getArguments()" inside of fragment which I'd like to convert it into activity. Help is appreciated.

This is the code :

  String weburl = getArguments().getStringArray(MainActivity.FRAGMENT_DATA)[0];
    String data = getArguments().containsKey(LOAD_DATA) ? getArguments().getString(LOAD_DATA) : null;
    if (data != null) {
        browser.loadDataWithBaseURL(weburl, data, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
    } else {
        browser.loadUrl(weburl);
    }

How do I write the same code in an activity?

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is how to send info to an Activity, for that you need Intents Please verify this info: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent

Basically:

public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "extra message";
...
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);        
String message = "Hello this is an intent";    
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);

To retrieve that data you have to do:

Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
