Passing values between Activities using MonoDroid
- by Wallym
Been doing some work in MonoDroid and found that I needed to pass a
user entered value from on Activity to another Activity in MonoDroid.
Here's how I did it.
In my sending Activity, I need to take some user user entered data and send it to my second activity. Here is the code:
string UserId = Convert.ToString(et.Text); if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(UserId)) { Intent i = new Intent(); i.SetClass(this, typeof(CustomList)); i.AddFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask); i.PutExtra("TwitterId", UserId); StartActivity(i); }
In this code, I have called .PutExtra and passed it with a key. In
this case, I am passing a Twitter id. In the code that is receiving
the data, the code to retrieve the Twitter id is:
string twitterId = Intent.GetStringExtra("TwitterId");
The call to GetStringExtra() returns the value passed on the key.
