Question

I am a beginner. I need an item by clicking on the list to send data “link” to activities “DownloadFile.java”. The activity “DownloadFile.java” I need to replace the data with “String fileURL =” data for the “link” with the previous activities. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

The correct approach is to pass the data in the Intent that you use to launch the DownloadFile activity. In OnItemClickListener

Intent i = new Intent(Mangalist.this,DownloadFile.class);
i.putExtra("link", link /* link from your list item*/ );
startActivity(i); //or startActivityForResult() if you want to come back to this activity

and in your DownloadFile activity onCreate()

Intent intent = getintent()
String link = intent.getStringExtra("link");
