Question

I’m trying to create calendar for android. There is a month switcher (previous/next month). How can I call the same activity (which displays the calendar) with other parameters…

e.g. previous month will have CalendarMonth(java.util.Calendar.MONTH - 1)

and next month will have CalendarMonth(java.util.Calendar.MONTH + 1)

current month will have nothing in costructor

Hope it’s clear 🙂

Thanks for help in advance

If I understood correctly, this is what you want:

Intent myIntent = new Intent();
myIntent.setClassName("com.peter.calendar", "com.peter.calendar.CalendarMonthActivity");
myIntent.putExtra("month", "November");
startActivity(myIntent);

Use December instead of November, and you have effectively called your activity with different parameters. In the activity, just retrieve those extras to know which month the caller wanted.
