Android: Using Getintent() Only Within Oncreate?

In Android (targeting APIs 14-16) I have a MainActivity and a NextActivity. There is no difficulty using intents to start NextActivity from within MainActivity if the getIntent() m

Solution 1:

You can't getIntent() before onCreate() -- there's simply no Intent available at that point. I believe the same is true for anything that requires a Context.

Your anonymous inner class can still call getIntent(), however, so you don't need to declare this as a variable at all.

Solution 2:

According to your question what i understand is u don't want to declare data as final in next activity..Then y cant u try for this./

publicclassNextActivityextendsActivity {
    int data=0;
    @OverridepublicvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         data = this.getIntent().getIntExtra("data", 7);
        ...
        }
    ...
    }

Try this...
