I'm trying to get an Arraylist to work in another Activity on Android. All is well. The arrray list is created, however, I cannot get Intent to work.
What way is there to get an arraylist to another variable?
Here is the code I'm using to generate the arrayList:
public List<Contact> getAllContacts() {
List<Contact> ContactpList = new ArrayList<Contact>();
How will I go about making this arraylist available in my other activities?
This is your activity were you have array list Right:
public List<Contact> getAllContacts() {
List<Contact> ContactpList = new ArrayList<Contact>();
now when u call another activity then send the array object like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(youractivity.this,youractivity.class);
intent.putExtra("ContactpList ", ContactpList );
startActivity(intent);
now get this array in the activity which you have called and were u want to get the array:
ArrayList<String> resultArray = getIntent().getStringArrayListExtra("ContactpList ");
Hope it is work for you.
try this :
Intent i = getIntent();
list = i.getStringArrayListExtra("list");
or other way that to make static your arraylist and access via class name.
You can create an ArrayList<Contact> list and pass it to another activity via bundle like this:
passing: <your intent>.putExtra("List", list);
getting: getIntent().getSerializableExtra("List");
make sure Contact class is Serializable : add public Class Contact implements Serializable {}
OR you can make a Static variable :
public static ArrayList<Contact> list = new ArrayList<Contact>();
