Pass Drawable from Fragment to Dialogfragment using Bundle

Question

I need to pass a drawable (mDLlist.get(position).getImageId()) from a Fragment to a DialogFragment.

I can`t seem to find a way how to do this, any input would be great.

Thank you upfront.

...
FragmentManager ft = ((FragmentActivity)context1).getSupportFragmentManager();
DialogFragment newFragment = MyNotification.newInstance();

Bundle args = new Bundle();
// How to pass this value ?
args.put?("appdraw", mDLlist.get(position).getImageId());
//--//
args.putString("appname", (String)mDLlist.get(position).getLabelnameText());
args.putString("appversion", mDLlist.get(position).getVersionName());
args.putString("appinstalltime", "Downloaded");
newFragment.setArguments(args);

newFragment.show(ft, "mydialog");
...

drawable. public Drawable getImageId() { return imageId; } public void setImageId(Drawable imageId) { this.imageId = imageId; } — Simon, Nov 16 '17 at 19:41

You cannot pass a Drawable via a Bundle since it doesnt implement Serializable and I dont think you can implement Parcelable.

If its a Drawable thats already in your package you can just pass a String or Resource ID so you can look it up again.

If its Bitmap you will need to write it to local storage and pass the path.

Hi Cody, thx for the answer, to be more clear. It`s a drawable icon I grab from a .apk file on the internal storage. (The apk is NOT installed, just downloaded). I pass it like this "mydlModel.setImageId(info.applicationInfo.loadIcon(pm));" – Simon Nov 16 '17 at 19:22

If anyone has the same problem, I used a "workaround" by passing the position of the adapter:

args.putInt("appdrawpos", position);

and compared it with a counter(i) which I use in a method I wrote:

int appDrawPos = 0;
Drawable drawIcon;
int i = 0;
...
//Get the adapter position
appDrawPos = getArguments().getInt("appdrawpos");
//Get apk icon
getAPKicon(folder.getAbsolutePath());
...
public void getAPKicon(String directoryName) {
        File directory = new File(directoryName);
        final PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
        File[] fList = directory.listFiles();

        for (File file : fList) {
            if (file.isFile()) {
                //If counter is the same as adapter position
                //Grab the icon from the apk
                if (i == appDrawPos) 
                    if (file.getName().endsWith(".apk")) {
                        PackageInfo info = pm.getPackageArchiveInfo(file.getAbsolutePath(), 0);
                        info.applicationInfo.sourceDir = file.getAbsolutePath();
                        info.applicationInfo.publicSourceDir = file.getAbsolutePath();
                        drawIcon = (info.applicationInfo.loadIcon(pm));
                        appDrawPos = 0;
                        i = 0;
                    }
                    i++;
            } else if (file.isDirectory()) {
                getAPKicon(file.getAbsolutePath());
            }
        }
    }
