Creating a putExtra to another class won't work

Time:12-22

So I am trying to pass data from my HomePage.class(my main activity) to my ContactHelper class but it just seems to crash.

This is the code that crashes the app:

Context context = view.getContext();
Intent i = new Intent(context, ContactHelper.class);
i.putExtra("name", displayName);
i.putExtra("phone", phone);
i.putExtra("email", contactEmail);
i.putExtra("amount", Amount);
i.putExtra("curDate", CurDate);
i.putExtra("dueDate", DueDate);
i.putExtra("curTime", TimeCur);
i.putExtra("timeDue", TimeDue);
//on below line we are starting a new activity,
context.startActivity(i);

Which is inside my getContacts function:

 @SuppressLint("Range")
    private void getContacts(View view) {
        // this method is use to read contact from users device.
        // on below line we are creating a string variables for
        // our contact id and display name.
        String contactId = "";
        String displayName = "";
        String phone = "";
        String contactEmail = "";
        String Amount = "0";
        String CurDate = "11111111";
        String DueDate = "99999999";
        String TimeCur = "0";
        String TimeDue = "0";
        // on below line we are calling our content resolver for getting contacts
        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME   " ASC");
        // on blow line we are checking the count for our cursor.
        if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
            // if the count is greater than 0 then we are running a loop to move our cursor to next.
            while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
                // on below line we are getting the phone number.
                int hasPhoneNumber = Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)));
                if (hasPhoneNumber > 0) {
                    // we are checking if the has phone number is > 0
                    // on below line we are getting our contact id and user name for that contact
                    contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                    displayName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));

                    // on below line we are calling a content resolver and making a query
                    Cursor phoneCursor = getContentResolver().query(
                            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                            null,
                            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID   " = ?",
                            new String[]{contactId},
                            null);
                    // on below line we are moving our cursor to next position.
                    if (phoneCursor.moveToNext()) {
                        // on below line we are getting the phone number for our users and then adding the name along with phone number in array list.
                        String phoneNumber = phoneCursor.getString(phoneCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                        contactsModalArrayList.add(new ContactsModal(displayName, phoneNumber));
                    }
                    // on below line we are closing our phone cursor.
                    phoneCursor.close();

                }
            }

            Context context = view.getContext();
            Intent i = new Intent(context, ContactHelper.class);
            i.putExtra("name", displayName);
            i.putExtra("phone", phone);
            i.putExtra("email", contactEmail);
            i.putExtra("amount", Amount);
            i.putExtra("curDate", CurDate);
            i.putExtra("dueDate", DueDate);
            i.putExtra("curTime", TimeCur);
            i.putExtra("timeDue", TimeDue);
            //on below line we are starting a new activity,
            context.startActivity(i);

        }
        // on below line we are closing our cursor.
        cursor.close();
        // on below line we are hiding our progress bar and notifying our adapter class.
        loadingPB.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        contactRVAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();


    }

Why would it be crashing?

My ultimate goal here is to have objects in my ContactsRVAdapter to become visible and not visible, and also text change, like current date and time.

[This is the FloatingActionButton which I am trying to manipulate][1] Which is in a RecyclerView

But I cant seem to reach the items in my FloatingActionButton(ContactsRVAdapter) in any way.

Here is my ContactsRVAdapter class:

package com.example.myan;

    public ContactRVAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<ContactsModal> contactsModalArrayList) {

        this.contactsModalArrayList = contactsModalArrayList;
    }


    @NonNull
    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        // passing our layout file for displaying our card item
        try {
            return new ViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.contacts_rv_item, parent, false));
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {

        // getting data from array list in our modal.
        ContactsModal modal = contactsModalArrayList.get(position);

        holder.contactTV.setText(modal.getUserName());
        ColorGenerator generator = ColorGenerator.MATERIAL; // or use DEFAULT
        // generate random color
        int color = generator.getRandomColor();

        // below text drawable is a circular.
        TextDrawable drawable2 = TextDrawable.builder().beginConfig()
                .width(100)  // width in px
                .height(100) // height in px
                .endConfig()
                // as we are building a circular drawable
                // we are calling a build round method.
                // in that method we are passing our text and color.
                .buildRound(modal.getUserName().substring(0, 1), color);
        // setting image to our image view on below line.
        holder.contactIV.setImageDrawable(drawable2);
        // on below line we are adding on click listener to our item of recycler view.
        holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // on below line we are opening a new activity and passing data to it.
                Intent i = new Intent(context, ContactDetailActivity.class);
                i.putExtra("name", modal.getUserName());
                i.putExtra("contact", modal.getContactNumber());
                //on below line we are starting a new activity,
                context.startActivity(i);
            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return contactsModalArrayList.size();
    }


    class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public ImageView contactLate;
        public ImageView txtFront;
        // on below line creating a variable
        // for our image view and text view.
        private ImageView contactIV;
        private TextView contactTV;
        private ImageView btnDeleteContact;
        private ImageView textDueToday;
        private Intent intent;
        private String getName;
        private String getPhone;
        private String getEmail;
        private String getAmount;
        private String getCurDate;
        private String getDateDue;
        private String getCurTime;
        private String getDueTime;


        public ViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) throws URISyntaxException {
            super(itemView);
            // initializing our image view and text view.
            contactIV = itemView.findViewById(R.id.idIVContact);
            contactTV = itemView.findViewById(R.id.idTVContactName);
            //contactLate = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtLate);
            //txtFront = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtfront);
            //textDueToday = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtDueToday);

        }

    }

}

So all I am trying to do is make it to where I can manipulate the objects inside ContactsRVAdapter class which is a Floating action button.

CodePudding user response:

Check the datatypes of the data that you are parsing in Another activities. It should be parcelable or serializable.

Context context = view.getContext();

In this function, pass context of existing activity.

private void getContacts(View view) {
