Intent Bundle returns Null every time? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Well, you test b == null after using it, which must be wrong. Also are you missing the initial if?

After edits
You don't put "WELL" inside the bundle, so the string "bun is null" is logged. The b must be non-null or you would have a crash at your hands. Try changing your if sentences to this and report what you get:

if (b == null) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else if (!b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun doesn't contain WELL");
else {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "Got bun well");
}

Answer 2

I change your if statement to match the log message. Please run the program and check the log message.

if(b == null) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else {
    if (b.containsKey("WELL")) {
        Log.v("BUNDLE", "Got bun well");
    }
}

I don't think the problem is that your bundle is null. It can't be because you'd get a NullPointerException much sooner.

The problem is that your error message is wrong. Change this:

if(b == null || !b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else {
    // ...
}

To this:

if (!b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bundle does not contain key WELL");
} else {
    // ...
}

And the reason why the bundle doesn't contain this key, is because you didn't add it.
