Using intents to pass data between activities

Question

I am trying to pass the data between Activities

I use intents to pass data between regular activities

consider the code below::

AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView.java

public class AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView extends TabActivity {      // TabSpec Names     private static final String INBOX_SPEC = "Rating";     private static final String OUTBOX_SPEC = "Price";      Button Photos;     Button Filter;     Button Search;      @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.main);          TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();          // Inbox Tab         TabSpec inboxSpec = tabHost.newTabSpec(INBOX_SPEC);         Intent inboxIntent = new Intent(this, RatingDescriptionSearchActivity.class);         inboxSpec.setIndicator(INBOX_SPEC);         // Tab Content         inboxSpec.setContent(inboxIntent);          // Outbox Tab         TabSpec PriceSpec = tabHost.newTabSpec(OUTBOX_SPEC);         Intent PriceIntent = new Intent(this, PriceDescriptionSearchActivity.class);         PriceSpec .setIndicator(OUTBOX_SPEC);         PriceSpec.setContent(PriceIntent);           // Adding all TabSpec to TabHost         tabHost.addTab(inboxSpec);          tabHost.addTab(PriceSpec);           //Set the current value tab to default first tab         tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);      }  }

Suppose i send data from Someother activity called Activity-1 to AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView as intents

Now how can i recieve the data in AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView which i got from Activity-1 and then again pass it into RatingDescriptionSearchActivity

Pictoral representation is ::

{EDIT} -- If this is possible based on answers --- Ambiguity because AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView is a tab activity

TabSpec inboxSpec = tabHost.newTabSpec(INBOX_SPEC);         Intent inboxIntent = new Intent(this, RatingDescriptionActivity.class);         intent.putExtra("keyName", value);         inboxSpec.setIndicator(INBOX_SPEC);         // Tab Content         inboxSpec.setContent(inboxIntent); 

Answer 1

Pass the data from Activity-1 to AndroidTabRes.. as below:

At sending activity...

Intent intent = new Intent(current.this, AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView.class); intent.putExtra("keyName","value"); startActivity(intent); 

At AndroidTabRes.. activity...

  String data = getIntent().getExtras().getString("keyName"); 

Thus you can have data at receiving activity from sending activity...

And in your AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView class, do this:

String value= getIntent().getStringExtra("keyName");  Intent intent = new Intent(this, RatingDescriptionSearchActivity.class); intent.putExtra("keyName", value); startActivity(intent); 

Then in your RatingDescriptionSearchActivity class, do this:

 String data= getIntent().getStringExtra("keyName"); 

Answer 2

Try this from your AndroidTabRestaurantDescSearchListView activity

Intent intent  = new Intent(this,RatingDescriptionSearchActivity.class ); intent.putExtras( getIntent().getExtras() ); startActivity( intent );   

And then from RatingDescriptionSearchActivity activity just call

getIntent().getStringExtra("key")
