Passing data between android ListActivities in Java
- by Will Janes
I am new to Android! I am having a problem getting this code to work...
Basically I Go from one list activity to another and pass the text from a list item through the intent of the activity to the new list view, then retrieve that text in the new list activity and then preform a http request based on value of that list item.
