how to pass data from textview to listview items selection

Question

CarSelection.java:

private Spinner spinner1;

// array list for spinner adapter

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_car_selection);

    Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
        if(b != null){
        String selection1=b.getString("pickup");
        String selection2=b.getString("pickdate");
        String selection3=b.getString("picktime");
        String selection4=b.getString("dropoff");
        String selection5=b.getString("dropdate");
        String selection6=b.getString("droptime");
        TextView text1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.pickup);

        else{
            Toast.makeText(CarSelection.this,"Haven't Received any data yet",    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

    brandsList = new ArrayList<Category>();
    // Show the Up button in the action bar.
    setupActionBar();

    addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection();

           Intent intent = new Intent(mActivity, FirstListView.class);
           intent.putExtras(b);
           mActivity.startActivity(intent);

           break;
        case 2:

I really need help to solve this problem. I want to do like when a user clicks on a specific item in the spinner ( R.id.spinnerbrand ), the data from the textview ( R.id.pickup ) will be passed to the next activity which is FirstListView.java . I'm not sure whether I do it correctly because the data cannot be passed. Really appreciate if someone can help to solve this. Thanks a lot

Answer 1

If you want to get the data from the spinner you can use:

String selected = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();

And for passing the data to the other activity basically this is what you need to do:
in the first activity you should create a Intent set the Action and add what you need:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(tag, value);
startActivity(intent);

and in the second activity:

Intent intent = getIntent();
intent.getBooleanExtra(tag, defaultValue);
intent.getStringExtra(tag, defaultValue);
intent.getIntegerExtra(tag, defaultValue);

one of the get-functions will give return you the value, depending on the datatype you are passing through.

or in the second activity, for example i want to get the value of name that I include at: intent.putExtra("name", name); on first class, for that you can simply make:

 Bundle b = new Bundle();
 b = getIntent().getExtras();
 String name = b.getString("name");
