Android global variable

I am working with an Android project. I have two activities. I am designing a file uploader.
The first activity is to choose a file. The second one is used to uploading the selected file.

How can i make a global variable So the file path selected in the first activity can be used by the second activity.

Is SharedPreference suitable for this or what’s the best solution for this?

Answer 1

You could do this from your file chooser activity:

Intent uploadActivity = new Intent(MyApp.this, UploadActivity.class);
uploadActivity.putExtra("filePath", filePath);
startActivity(uploadActivity);

And then read the extras from your UploadActivity:

String filePath = getIntent().getStringExtra("filePath");
