I am trying to sent the text in an EditText from one activity through an intent extra to another activity. The text will then be used to update a TextView in the second Activity. The EditText activity was invoked using startActivityForResult(). I have the following code.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.explicitly_loaded_activity);
// Get a reference to the EditText field
mEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
// Declare and setup "Enter" button
Button enterButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enter_button);
enterButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
// Call enterClicked() when pressed
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
enterClicked();
}
});
}
// Sets result to send back to calling Activity and finishes
private void enterClicked() {
Log.i(TAG,"Entered enterClicked()");
// TODO - Save user provided input from the EditText field
mEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
CharSequence userInput = mEditText.getText();
// TODO - Create a new intent and save the input from the EditText field as an extra
Intent returnIntent = new Intent(ExplicitlyLoadedActivity.this, ActivityLoaderActivity.class);
returnIntent.putExtra("returnInput", userInput);
// TODO - Set Activity's result with result code RESULT_OK
setResult(RESULT_OK);
// TODO - Finish the Activity
finish();
}
This is then sent back to the following code.
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
Log.i(TAG, "Entered onActivityResult()");
// TODO - Process the result only if this method received both a
// RESULT_OK result code and a recognized request code
// If so, update the Textview showing the user-entered text.
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == GET_TEXT_REQUEST_CODE) {
mUserTextView.setText(data.getCharSequenceExtra("returnInput"));
}
}
Where mUserTextView is the TextView I want to update. Thanks.
