Question

i m creating a project with three main activities (lets call them Activity 1, 2 and 3).
In activity 1, i pass the number in my bundle extra.

newActivity.putExtra("LAT", getText(R.string.LAT1));
newActivity.putExtra("LNG", getText(R.string.LNG1));

then,in the 2nd one, i get this like:

     double Lata;
    double Lnga;

//in onCreate..
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();

        Lata = extras.getDouble("LAT");
        Lnga = extras.getDouble("LNG");

and then,i m passing them to the 3rd activity like this:

newActivity.putExtra("LAT",Lata);
newActivity.putExtra("LNG",Lnga);

Finally, in the 3rd activity:

public class mapview extends MapActivity
{
 @Override  
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

 setContentView(R.layout.map);

 MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
 mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
 //mapView.setSatellite(true);
 //mapView.setStreetView(true);
 List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
  Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pin);
 HelloItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawable,this);

 Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
final double Latc = extras.getDouble("LAT");
 final double Lngc = extras.getDouble("LNG");
Integer txt_map = extras.getInt("MAP_NAME");





 TextView mapname=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.museum_address_name);
 mapname.setText(getText(txt_map));

 Double lat = Double.valueOf(Latc*1E6);

    Double lng = Double.valueOf(Lngc*1E6);

    //---------------------------------------------------
    GeoPoint center = new GeoPoint(Double.valueOf(Latc*1E6).intValue(), Double.valueOf(Lngc*1E6).intValue());
    MapController controller = mapView.getController();
        controller.setCenter(center);
    controller.setZoom(15);
    //---------------------------------------------------

    GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat.intValue(), lng.intValue());
 OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(point, "", "");


 itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);

 mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
 }
 @Override
 protected boolean isRouteDisplayed()
 {
 return false;
 }
}

The result is somewhere in South America,but my lat and long are in europe..What am i doing wrong?i m trying to fix it for more than 2 hours…:(

Answer 1

I suspect that getText returns a String or a CharSequence so you’re putting a string into the bundle but reading it as a double. Instead, make sure you convert it to a double first:

newActivity.putExtra("LAT", Double.parseDouble(getText(R.string.LAT1)));
newActivity.putExtra("LNG", Double.parseDouble(getText(R.string.LNG1)));

That’s assuming you’ve already properly validated that your TextViews really contain a valid double.
