Pass a document between activities - Android

Hello,

As the title suggest, i am trying to pass a Document between activities in android.
I tried to use Parcelable via Intent but i didn’t suceed.

Might someone be able to help ?

Regards

Hey @heretyk,

Could you post some of your logs and code snippets of where you implemented the Parcelable class with the Intent instance interactions for discussion.

Thanks,

Hi @sweetiewill,

Finally, i have been re-thinking my code, and i realized that just passing the id of the doc to my child activity, and retrieving the Document with that id might be a better way to do it …in terms of operations/ressources (mem,cpu…) usages.

Do you confirm ?

For information, here is what i tried before :

From parent Activity (in a fragment with ListView) :

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        if (null != mListener) {

            // Get Document  "behind" the clicked item
            Document clickedDoc = (Document) mListView.getItemAtPosition(position);
            Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), ViewProfileActivity.class);
            i.putExtra("clickedDoc",new ParcelableDocument(MainActivity.database,clickedDoc.getId()));
            startActivity(i);

        }

    }

In ViewProfileActivity (child activity) :

    protected Bitmap picture1;


 protected ParcelableDocument documentParcel;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
        documentParcel = data.getParcelable("clickedDoc");
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_profile);     // Load the layout
        createToolbar();
        viewDocument();
    }

ParcelableDocument Class

public class ParcelableDocument extends Document implements Parcelable {
private int mData;

/**
 * Constructor
 *
 * @param database   The document's owning database
 * @param documentId The document's ID
 * @exclude
 */
public ParcelableDocument(Database database, String documentId) {
    super(database, documentId);
}


public int describeContents() {
    return 0;
}

public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
    out.writeInt(mData);
}

public static final Parcelable.Creator<ParcelableDocument> CREATOR
        = new Parcelable.Creator<ParcelableDocument>() {
    @Override
    public ParcelableDocument createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
        return null;
    }

    public ParcelableDocument[] newArray(int size) {
        return new ParcelableDocument[size];
    }
};

}

Best regards,
