Question

I’m trying to get my Android project to retrieve user numbers through the edit-text areas. That may already be fully completed in my code. I do not know how to use the captured data in an equation, and display the results back in the second activity on the screen through a textbox. The solution is probably more simple than it seems to be at the moment. Let me know if you want more specifics and information overall.

First activity:

 package com.klinetel.bac.calculator;

 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.app.AlertDialog;
 import android.view.View;
 import android.widget.*;
 import android.content.*;


 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

RadioGroup group1;
RadioButton maleRadio, femaleRadio;
 // Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    alert.setTitle("The Result");
    alert.setMessage("Your Blood Alcohol Content Percentage is:");
    alert.setPositiveButton("OK", null);
    alert.create().show();


Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(),ResultsActivity.class);
        startActivityForResult(intent,0);
        finish();

    }

});
}



//Input conversion-to-string-attributes
public void calcBAC(){

   //weight
   EditText editWeight = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
   double weight = Double.parseDouble(editWeight.getText().toString());

   //hours
   EditText editHours = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);
   double hours = Double.parseDouble(editHours.getText().toString()); 

   //drinks
   EditText editDrinks = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText3);
   double drinks = Double.parseDouble(editDrinks.getText().toString());

   //radio buttons
   maleRadio=(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio0);

   femaleRadio=(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio1);


   //bac total
   double resultBAC=0;

   //male formula
   if(maleRadio.isChecked()){

       resultBAC=(((EQUATION HERE))/2;

   }
   //female formula
   else if(femaleRadio.isChecked()){

       resultBAC=(((EQUATION HERE))/2;
   }

}


}

Second activity:

package com.klinetel.bac.calculator;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.*;
import android.widget.*;
import android.content.Intent;


public class ResultsActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);


TextView result;

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.backButton);

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(),MainActivity.class);
        startActivityForResult(intent,0);
        finish();

    }


});
result=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
//result=resultBAC.getValue;
}
}

Answer 1

You can use Extra’s to pass off data to the second activity. You can pass off single values to the intent or you can pass off a “Bundle” if you have a bunch of different data values to pass between activities

On your first activity add the following:

Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(),ResultsActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("extraname", "extravalue");
intent.putExtra("extraname2", 9.99);
startActivityForResult(intent,0);
finish();

Then on your receiving activity

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);
String extra = getIntent().getStringExtra("extraname") //returns null if nothing
Double extra2 = getIntent().getDoubleExtra("extraname2")
