Android: How to put an Enum in a Bundle?

Question

How do you add an Enum object to an Android Bundle?

Answer 1

A simple way, assign integer value to enum

See the following example:

public enum MyEnum {

    TYPE_ONE(1), TYPE_TWO(2), TYPE_THREE(3);

    private int value;

    MyEnum(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    public int getValue() {
        return value;
    }

}

Sender Side:

Intent nextIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
nextIntent.putExtra("key_type", MyEnum.TYPE_ONE.getValue());
startActivity(nextIntent);

Receiver Side:

Bundle mExtras = getIntent().getExtras();
int mType = 0;
if (mExtras != null) {
    mType = mExtras.getInt("key_type", 0);
}

/* OR
    Intent mIntent = getIntent();
    int mType = mIntent.getIntExtra("key_type", 0);
*/

if(mType == MyEnum.TYPE_ONE.getValue())
    Toast.makeText(NextActivity.this, "TypeOne", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
else if(mType == MyEnum.TYPE_TWO.getValue())
    Toast.makeText(NextActivity.this, "TypeTwo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
else if(mType == MyEnum.TYPE_THREE.getValue())
    Toast.makeText(NextActivity.this, "TypeThree", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
else
    Toast.makeText(NextActivity.this, "Wrong Key", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
