Question

I’m familiar with how to pass Raw Data(String, int, boolean etc) from one Activity to another Activity. But in my application, I want to pass a Cursor object to next Activity. I’m extending my class from the Activity Class.

Though I have looked at this post. but it provides cotradictory solutions. However, as described by one of the users, one should extend Application class to pass cursor data. But I want to extend Activity class. So is there any way to pass Cursor data from an Activity to another Activity.

Note- If it helps, the fact why I want to use the cursor is, I’m querying data for a particular contact clicked from the list and saving it in the cursor and I want to pass the same cursor data to the next Actvity.

Answer 1

• Re-query your cursor on the destination side.
• Store the cursor data in a class which implements Parcelable.(when your cursor data is in small size).

Above both method will work perfectly, concern really coming when you dealing with Static ones.

Remember: To open/close cursor and database when required.
