Question

Thanks in advance.
When I print Log.d("me",getIntent().toString());

I am getting:

Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED dat=tel:888 flg=0x13800000 cmp=com.ninetology.freecall.two/.CallFinalActivity }

I am trying to fetch the value which is associated with “dat” but I am getting NullPointer exception.

//the code I am using is
getIntent().getStringExtra("dat"); // no use
//i tried 
getIntent().getExtras("dat").toString(); // NullPointer exception

I tried with “tel” as key in above code still no use.

Answer 1

it seems you’re doing this wrong.

1. The getExtras() function returns a bundle that you can extract data from and not a function that returns a specific String.

2. dat is NOT a String value as you can see from the data that was printed. it’s a Uri,

try parsing it as you should and I’m sure you’ll be able to get the data.

public void onCreate(Bundle b) { //mistyped
    super.onCreate(b);
    Uri data = getIntent().getData();
    // OR USE THIS
    String data = getIntent().getDataString();
    // DO STUFF
}
