Question

Say i have one activity that gets a cookie and then starts a new activity.

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, act2.class);
this.startActivity(myIntent);

But how do I pass that cookie to the new activity?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to use putExtra method of Intent to send data from one Activity to another Activity.

eg.

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, act2.class);
myIntent.putExtra("CookieKey",cookieValue);
this.startActivity(myIntent);

and In other activity, you can get this extras using

String cookie=getIntent().getStringExtra("CookieKey");

or in a more clear way you can use :

  Bundle bundle=getIntent().getExtras();

  if(bundle!=null)
  {
        if(bundle.contains("CookieKey")){

             String cookie=bundle.getString("CookieKey");
        }
  }
