Passing string array between android activities

Question

I am having 2 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.

pls let me know about the possible solution.

Answer 1

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); 

Answer 2

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");
