Re: [android-developers] Global Variables

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:24:53 -0800 

Sorry, I am new to Java and Android.
I don't get what you are saying. I added the following android:name="globalVars" to the manifest. But I still don't understand how I can get the value of the apiKey, which should be XXXXXXXXXXXX.

If you define to use your custom application class in the android manifest file you can get the class from your activities.
Inside your activity, simple use (MyAppliction) getAppliction() and then you can access your variables. If it's static global variables you're looking for. Then you would use MyApplication.MyStaticConst

    Ok, trying to do this but struggling.

    I created a class as follows:

    package com.dtwconsulting.golfcaddie;

    import android.app.Application;

    public class globalVars extends Application{

        public String apiKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";

        public String getApiKey() {
            return apiKey;
         }
    }
Now, how do I get the value of the apiKey from somewhere else? Sorry, this is just my lack of knowledge on Java here. I was 
    hoping it was something like globalVars.getApiKey(), but that
    doesn't seem to work.

    I tend to do what TreKing suggested.  I have a class called
    CommonVariables that really holds static strings for Flurry event
    names, the year parameter for my app (it's seasonal and changes
    once a year) which is used all over the place, and things like that.

        IDK about "best", but "easy": public static values somewhere
        that you set up in a custom Application class.
