Question

I have encountered a problem with passing data from another activity to the current one. Actually, I have asked another question regarding the same issue here and now the problem is that the textView for the date become empty and I don’t know what’s wrong. Anyone could help me with this problem? Thanks a lot and I will really appreciate any help that I can get.

UPDATED:

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();  
if(bundle != null)
{

    String date = bundle.getString("date");

    txtDate.setText(date);          
}

when I run this, the textView won’t show anything. Can anyone help me? Thanks again.

Answer 1

String date = bundle.getString(“date”);

check whether the “date” that you are using as a key here in getString() is same to what you are using when you send the value from the previous activity.. for e.g,

Previous Activity = i.putExtra(“date”,”_yourvalue”);

Next Activity = Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
String date = bundle.getString(“date”);

If that is same then check whether you have initialised your textview properly using the following,

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewbyID(R.id.yourID);

then do

tv.setText(date);

And all of this must be done in the onCreate of the activity….

Let me know if the problem still persists..
