Question

I want to have an image sent from recipe_button_list.java to recipe_display_screen.java,
and my current code highlights an error in my code…

This is how image is being sent in recipe_button_list:

Intent i= new Intent(getBaseContext(),recipedisplayscreen.class);
            //Sending data to the next screen
            i.putExtra("textView1", inputIngredients1.getText().toString());
            i.putExtra("textView2", inputMethod1.getText().toString());
            i.putExtra("image_string",R.drawable.blustudios);

            Log.e("n", inputMethod1.getText()+"."+ inputIngredients1.getText());

This is how image is recieved in recipe_display_screen:

Intent i = getIntent();
    String Ingredients = i.getStringExtra("textView1");
    String Method = i.getStringExtra("textView2");
    String RecipeImage = i.getStringExtra("image_string");

And this is how it is set (gives error(highlights setImageResource)

        MethodDisplay.setText(Method);
    IngredientsDisplay.setText(Ingredients);
    RecipeDisplay.setImageResource(RecipeImage);

What is my error???

Thanks in advance 😛

Answer 1

R.drawable.blustudios is not a String. The auto-generated R.java class contains integers which are actually resource ids.

Change this line…

String RecipeImage = i.getStringExtra("image_string");

…to this…

int RecipeImage = i.getIntExtra("image_string", 0);
