Pass TIME object via bundle

Question

How to pass an instance (object) of TIME using a Bundle???

May be a simple question,but i need a precise answer...

DATE date=new DATE();

Answer 1

Dates are serializable, so you can use get/putSerializable:

MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putSerializable(MyFragment.DATE_KEY, new Date());
fragment.setArguments(bundle);

In MyFragment:

public void onViewStateRestored(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewStateRestored(savedInstanceState);
    Bundle bundle = savedInstanceState != null ? savedInstanceState : getArguments();
    Date startTime = (Date) bundle.getSerializable(MyFragment.DATE_KEY);
    this.time = startTime;
}

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle bundle) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(bundle);
    bundle.putSerializable(MyFragment.DATE_KEY, this.time);
}

Answer 2

This code is approximate since I am writing it from memory .

Intent mIntent = new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class);
mIntent.putLong(KEY, getTimeMilliseconds());
startactivity(mIntent);

Then in the onCreate of ActivityB :

Bundle mBundle = getItent().getExtras();
Long time = mBundle.getLong(KEY);

Note :

putLong / getLong can apply to multiple type String , int ...

If you want it to apply to a custom object you should make that object implement Parcelable.
