Question

Hi I need a little help with understanding how to send image uri via intent.putExtra() so I can change the source of another activity with intent.getExtra().

So basically I’m trying to send from Activity1 intent.putExtra("R.drawable.image"); to Activity2 and show the image.

I’m trying to do it like this :

Activity1:

intent.putExtra("image_url","R.drawable.image");

Activity2:

    ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    String image_link = getIntent().getStringExtra("image_url");

and I don’t know how to set it as background to image.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Activity1:

intent.putExtra("image_url",R.drawable.image);

Activity2:

    ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    int image_link = getIntent().getIntExtra("image_url", R.drawable.default);

Now you have the resource id as an int and you can use it:

imageView.setImageResource(image_link);
