This was a good question (as it is something I was looking for
myself).
One super basic question: How do I get a handle to the calling Intent
in the called activity?
I create the intent in the first Activity with Intent i = new Intent
(); etc, but I am unclear on how I retrieve a handle to the calling
intent in the new Activity.
I am looking for something like this:
public NewActivity extends Activity {
...
Intent calledIntent = this.getCallingIntent(); //this is where I
would like to retrieve the handle to intent that was used
//
to start this Activity
//so I can call
String myData = calledIntent.getExtra("someData");
}
--Maybe I need to purchase your book as well ;-)
