So I have a screen where a user enters their name, on button click they are redirected to a menu where it displays their name.
In the menu screen I have a button that takes me to another screen (About Me), on that screen I have a button with an Intent to go back to the Menu Activity.
The issue is that when I click the button with the Intent to go back, the name displays as null instead of what the User entered.
This does not happen when I use the actual android navigation buttons to go to the previous screen, only the Button i created to go back to the Menu Activity.
Launcher Activity where user enters their name
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_launcher_screen);
Button launcherNextBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.launcherNextBtn);
EditText launcherVisitorNameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.launcherVisitorNameEditText);
TextView launcherVisitorNameErrorTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.launcherVisitorNameErrorTextView);
launcherVisitorNameErrorTextView.setText("");
launcherNextBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
String visitorName = launcherVisitorNameEditText.getText().toString();
if (visitorName.equals("")) {
launcherVisitorNameErrorTextView.setText("Please enter a value");
} else {
launcherVisitorNameErrorTextView.setText("");
Intent goToMenuActivity = new Intent(LauncherScreen.this, MenuScreen.class);
goToMenuActivity.putExtra("visitorName", visitorName);
startActivity(goToMenuActivity);
}
});
Menu activity where it displays the users name
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu_screen);
Button menuHomeBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.menuHomeBtn);
Button menuAboutMeBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.menuAboutMeBtn);
TextView menuNameTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.menuNameTextView);
String visitorName = getIntent().getStringExtra("visitorName");
menuNameTextView.setText("Dear " visitorName);
menuHomeBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
Intent goToLauncherActivity = new Intent(MenuScreen.this, LauncherScreen.class);
goToLauncherActivity.putExtra("visitorName", visitorName);
startActivity(goToLauncherActivity);
});
menuAboutMeBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
Intent goToAboutMeActivity = new Intent(MenuScreen.this, AboutMeScreen.class);
startActivity(goToAboutMeActivity);
});
}
About me activity, when I click the button to back to Menu, i get "Dear null"
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_about_me_screen);
Button aboutMeBackBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.aboutMeBackBtn);
String visitorName = getIntent().getStringExtra("visitorName");
aboutMeBackBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
Intent goToMenuActivity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MenuScreen.class);
startActivity(goToMenuActivity);
});
}
CodePudding user response:
Your problem is in About me activity screen
aboutMeBackBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
Intent goToMenuActivity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MenuScreen.class);
startActivity(goToMenuActivity);
});
This time you are not passing an extra field, so you are getting null
Answer 1
aboutMeBackBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
onBackPressed();
});
Answer 2
aboutMeBackBtn.setOnClickListener((View v) -> {
Intent goToMenuActivity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MenuScreen.class);
goToMenuActivity.putExtra("visitorName", visitorName)
startActivity(goToMenuActivity);
});
