Question

This has been asked once before but that didn’t work for me at all. So I thought I’ll just ask again.

I have a JSONarray that I want to pass to my second activity using an intent.

This is a part of my code which connects to a mysql database and puts data about a user in a JSONarray. This all works so far.

try{
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8);
    sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n");

    String line="0";
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        sb.append(line + "\n");
    }
    is.close();
    result=sb.toString();

    }catch(Exception e){
        Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
    }

String ct_user;
String ct_pass;

Intent personal = new Intent(Home.this, Loggedin.class);

try{
    jArray = new JSONArray(result);
    JSONObject json_data=null;
    json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(0);
    ct_user = json_data.getString("user");
    ct_pass = json_data.getString("pass");


    if (passwordstring.equals(ct_pass)){

        Bundle b = new Bundle();                
        b.putString("userdata",json_data.toString());
        personal.putExtras(b);

        startActivity(personal);
            }
    }

I’d like to send my complete JSONarray through an intent to my second activity (Loggedin). So that I can display for example ct_email = json_data.getString(“email”); which is another value in the array that the first activity gets from mysql.

This was the other question about this subject:
passing jsonarray from 1 activity to another

That solution didn’t work for me because in the second activity errors kept saying it couldn’t convert bundle to intent, I tried everything I could think of.

Intent b = getIntent().getExtras();
String userdata=b.getString("userdata");

Thanks

EDIT

Thanks for the quick answers guys. I’m new to Stackoverflow so pardon my mistakes regarding code markings etc. I try to do it all properly.

But it’s still not working for me. This is part of my second activity:

public class Loggedin extends Activity {


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

    myfunction();

}

public void myfunction(){

    Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
    String userdataArray = b.getString("userdata");

    String ct_email;
    ct_email = userdataArray.getString("email");


}

}

The error is the “method getString(String) is undefined for the type String”.
I must be doing something stupid.

Answer 1

getExtras() returns Bundle, not Intent. Change your code like this and try.

Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras(); 
String userdata=b.getString("userdata");
