Passing extras from widget in PendingIntent to Activity

Question

I can't find a way to pass extras from widget to Activity properly.

I wan't to open activity on button click with some extras passed.

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, CreateOperationsActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("someKey", true);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, Constants.RequestCodes.CREATE_OPERATIONS, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.add_expense_button, pendingIntent);

Activity is opened, but there is no extra in the Intent.

The only way I was able to pass that extra was seting PendingIntent flag to PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT but then widget button works only wonce, clicking it further takes no action.

How to do that so the extra is intercepted by Activity and the button works each time?

I suffering form same problem but i put that values in shared storage and get these values form activity not bcz here we cant put extra in intents — wadali, Jan 31 '15 at 16:31

You're probably missing setAction() for your Intent ;) See this one for a better explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3128271/515423

It doesn't help, but the action is passed properly, contrary to extras ... so it is possible to make workaround using action. Its not clean however – Jacek Kwiecień Feb 02 '15 at 11:15
