Question

I’m trying to code a way to pass the values from two spinners into another activity.

I found examples using the putExtra method online but I’m having trouble implementing it myself (I think I’m just unclear on how it works exactly).

The code I have is (without any values in the putExtra method, because that’s the bit I’m stuck on):

public void addListenerOnButton() {

        transportSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.transportSpinner);
        locationSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.locationSpinner);

        buttonSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSubmit);

        buttonSubmit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

          @Override
          public void onClick(View v) {

              Intent i = new Intent(GetDirections.this.getApplicationContext(), DirectionDisplay.class);
              i.putExtra(); 
              GetDirections.this.startActivity(i);

          }

        });
}

Thanks.

Assuming that your spinners are correctly populated, you can do:

...
i.putExtra("transportSpinnerSelected", transportSpinner.getSelectedItem());
i.putExtra("locationSpinnerSelected", locationSpinner.getSelectedItem());
...
