Question

Hi i want to pass a string through two ativities I’ve been looking for it in another answers and tried this one:

public class GlobalVars extends Activity {
private static String winename;

public static String getWineName(){
    return winename;
}
public static void setWineName(String s){
    winename=s;
}

}

And set the string in activity 1 as this:

EditText searchbox=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.buscarmainText);
String searchb=searchbox.getText().toString();
GlobalVars.setWineName(searchb);

But, when I call the getWineName method in activity 2 it seems that the string winename is empty, is called like this:

public String sbuscar=GlobalVars.getWineName();

Don’t know what am I doing wrong.

Answer 1

Its better to pass string between activities with intents

In your first activity class:

Intent i = new Intent(this, activity2.class);
i.putExtra("KEY",YourData);

In next activity class

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if(extras !=null) {
    String value = extras.getString("KEY");
}
