Hi Vinay, Yes, I meant some data of present activity. The trivial method would be using static variables as you have already mentioned in your reply. That's actually what I have been doing so far. Using database on the other hand seems to be an overkill. Anyway, I just wanted to find out whether there is a better alternative or not. Thanks for your comments. TreKing, thanks for your reply as well. Cheers, Emre

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Not sure what you mean by context variables.... Activity itself is a context... so while starting an activity you can pass "this" (wild guess) in the bundle. But why would to want to pass it to another activity? Or do u mean some data of present activity would be required in the next activity. Well then you can use bundle put extras. and then gather extras in the new activity. Or u can use static variables to share data between the two activities or activity and service. And if you are not comfortable with the static variables then data base is always there.

When I run my application, let's say by running MainActivity(), I expect it to display the first Tab and thus run Activity "A" by default and switch to Activity "B" when the second Tab is selected. Let's assume I'd like to pass a Context variable in my MainActivity to either Activity "A" or "B. How should I do it, what is the most efficient approach ? Any suggestions ?
