Android Passing primitives between Activities

We can pass the data between activities in forward and backward directions means

first activity =====> second activity

second activity =====> first activity

Make a project with name AndroidPassingPrimitives

MainActivity.java


package com.jitesh.androidpassingprimitives;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final int PLAY_GAME = 1010;

private TextView tv;
private int meaningOfLife = 786;
private String userName = "Upadhyay Jitesh";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.startscreen_text);
// display initial values
tv.setText(userName + ":" + meaningOfLife);
// setup button listener
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.play_game);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
startGame();
}
});
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == PLAY_GAME && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
meaningOfLife = data.getExtras().getInt("returnInt");
userName = data.getExtras().getString("returnStr");
// show it has changed
tv.setText(userName + ":" + meaningOfLife);
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

private void startGame() {
Intent launchGame = new Intent(this, PlayGame.class);
// passing information to launched activity
launchGame.putExtra("meaningOfLife", meaningOfLife);
launchGame.putExtra("userName", userName);
startActivityForResult(launchGame, PLAY_GAME);
}
}

PlayGame.java


package com.jitesh.androidpassingprimitives;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class PlayGame extends Activity {
private TextView tv2;
int answer;
String author;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.game);
tv2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.game_text);
// reading information passed to this activity
// Get the intent that started this activity
Intent i = getIntent();
// returns -1 if not initialized by calling activity
answer = i.getIntExtra("meaningOfLife", -1);
// returns [] if not initialized by calling activity
author = i.getStringExtra("userName");
tv2.setText(author + ":" + answer);
// change values for an example of return
answer = answer - 41;
author = author + " Jr.";
// setup button listener
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.end_game);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// return information to calling activity
Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra("returnInt", answer);
i.putExtra("returnStr", author);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();
}
});
}
}
