How to transfer the clicked item in listview to editText in another activity in android

Question

I want to get the item on list view to edit Text in another activity. When clicked on list view item, I want to transfer the item in another activity in edit Text.

Answer 1

You have to make onItemClickListner of listview like that.

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SecondActivity.class);
        i.putExtra("new_variable_name","value");
         startActivity(i);
        }
    });

Then in the new Activity, retrieve those values:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();

if (extras != null) { String value = extras.getString("new_variable_name"); }

And finally set Value to editText like this

editText.setText(value);

Hope this will help you.

lstView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), NewActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("text", text want to transfer);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

Answer 3

You can make use of SharedPreferences . And when you pass the content of the ListView to the next activity, you can use editText.setText("Your Text") .

You can also pass your data through intents from which you are calling your new activity.

1. create onClick method like this.

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.newsList); list.setAdapter(adapter); list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long offset) { NewsItem item = (NewsItem) adapter.getItem(position); Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NewsDetailsActivity.class); intent.putExtra(KEY, item.getHeadline()); startActivity(intent); } });

    Intent intent = getIntent(); headline = intent.getStringExtra(KEY);
