Question

I would like to view some text in Toast after a new Intent activity is being used.

This is what I have:

Intent i = new Intent(this, PrivateWallet.class);
startActivity(i);
this.finish();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You have € " + inputTransacVal.getText().toString() + " less.",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

The problem is, that Toast is showing some text first, before intent is starting.

Any help would be much appreciated. 🙂

Edit:

Here is the working code:

Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putString("value", "You have € " + inputTransacVal.getText().toString() + " more."); 
startActivity(new Intent(this, PrivateWallet.class).putExtras(bundle)); 
this.finish();

This code is meant to validate:

if(this.getIntent().getExtras() != null){
    Toast.makeText(this, this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("value"),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

You should definitively put the Toast code in the onCreate of your PrivateWallet activity.

The amount of Euro should be passed to your activity with a Bundle:

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("value", inputTransacVal.getText());
startActivity(new Intent(this, PrivateWallet.class).putExtras(bundle));

and then in your PrivateWallet Activity:

Toast.makeText(this, "You have € "+this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("value")+" less",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
