Question

i am new to the android and so i was just trying to make a simple application which takes an integer data,rather a mobile no. from one activity to the another (in both activities it is stored in the edittext). i used the following code in the sender activity-

done.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Intent i=new Intent(ctx,MainActivity.class);
            i.putExtra("number", Long.parseLong(edittext.getText().toString()));
            ctx.startActivity(i);
        }
    });

following is the receiving code in the receiver activity–

num=getIntent().getIntExtra("number", set_default);
    accept(num);

protected void accept(long t) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    edittext=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
    String a=(edittext.getText().toString()+t);
    clear(edittext);
    edittext.append(a);
}
private void clear(EditText edittext) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    edittext.setText("");

}

num is of type long.

the problem with the above code is that it is working correctly upto the 8 digits of numbers but not with 9 digit onwards.
previously i used int with num and int.parseInt with putExtra in sender activity,but changed to long after the problem, but it retains.

can anyone plz help me out with this??

Answer 1

You’re still using getIntExtra. Use getLongExtra.

num=getIntent().getLongExtra("number", (long) set_default);
