What\'s the easiest way to pass string variables from one application to another and also return values back? I have access to the source code of both apps, but
public class MyParcelable implements Parcelable {
// You can include parcel data types
private int mData;
private String mName;
// We can also include child Parcelable objects. Assume MySubParcel is such a Parcelable:
private MySubParcelable mInfo;
// This is where you write the values you want to save to the `Parcel`.
// The `Parcel` class has methods defined to help you save all of your values.
// Note that there are only methods defined for simple values, lists, and other Parcelable objects.
// You may need to make several classes Parcelable to send the data you want.
@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
out.writeInt(mData);
out.writeString(mName);
out.writeParcelable(mInfo, flags)
}
// Using the `in` variable, we can retrieve the values that
// we originally wrote into the `Parcel`. This constructor is usually
// private so that only the `CREATOR` field can access.
private MyParcelable(Parcel in) {
mData = in.readInt();
mName = in.readString();
mInfo = in.readParcelable(MySubParcelable.class.getClassLoader());
}
public MyParcelable() {
// Normal actions performed by class, since this is still a normal object!
}
// In the vast majority of cases you can simply return 0 for this.
// There are cases where you need to use the constant `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`
// But this is out of scope of this tutorial
@Override
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
// After implementing the `Parcelable` interface, we need to create the
// `Parcelable.Creator CREATOR` constant for our class;
// Notice how it has our class specified as its type.
public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR
= new Parcelable.Creator() {
// This simply calls our new constructor (typically private) and
// passes along the unmarshalled `Parcel`, and then returns the new object!
@Override
public MyParcelable createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
return new MyParcelable(in);
}
// We just need to copy this and change the type to match our class.
@Override
public MyParcelable[] newArray(int size) {
return new MyParcelable[size];
}
};
}
