Question

I have this parent tab from which I want to send a boolean value to one of my tabs. How do I do it? I this the following would work, but obviously it doesn’t!

Here’s the parent tab (IncludeTabActivity.java):

Intent i = getIntent();

i.putExtra("FromMyActivity", fromLogin);

        TabActivity ta = (TabActivity) IncludeTabActivity.this;
        ta.getTabHost().setCurrentTab(0);

Here’s the child tab:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
boolean fromLogin = extras.getBoolean("FromMyActivity");

How could this be done?

Try:

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("DefaultSettings", 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putBoolean("FromMyActivity", fromLogin);
editor.commit();

then to get it use

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("DefaultSettings", 0);
boolean fromLogin = settings.getBoolean("FromMyActivity", defaultFromLoginValue);
