Question

Intent i = new Intent(AndroidGUIActivity.this, Basic_database_questionsActivity.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
// get the current value of timerStart variable and store it in timerlogic
Log.e(LOGS, "Whatis the value of timerstart inside the intentcalls method" +  timerStart);
b.getBoolean("timerlogic", timerStart);
boolean timermagic= b.getBoolean("timerlogic");
Log.e(LOGS, "Whatis the value of timerstart passed to timermagic" + timermagic);

I am not sure why timermagics variable has a value of false and not true

Answer 1

You set a boolean using Bundle#putBoolean(String,boolean), so this:

b.getBoolean("timerlogic", timerStart);

Should be:

b.putBoolean("timerlogic", timerStart);
