How to pass User_Id to every activity in android?

Question

I am trying to build an android application. After logged in to the application I want to use User_Id for all activities for getting unique data based on that user_id. How it is possible? And what changes i want to make in this code to get user_id in all activities?

LoginActivity.java

       public class LoginActivityMerchant extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

//Defining views
private AutoCompleteTextView ACTUser;
private EditText etPassword;
private Button buttonLogin;
private TextView linkToRegister;
private ProgressDialog loading;
public static final String KEY_firstName = "First_Name";
public static final String KEY_LastName = "Last_Name";
public static final String KEY_Mob = "Mobile";
public static final String KEY_ShopName = "Shop_Name";

public static final String KEY_Location = "Location";
public static final String KEY_Radius = "UserId";
public static final String JSON_ARRAY = "result";
public static final String KEY_UserName = "User_Name";
public static final String KEY_Password = "Password";
public TextView test;

//boolean variable to check user is logged in or not
//initially it is false
private boolean loggedIn = false;

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

    //Initializing views
    ACTUser = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.email);
    etPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
    buttonLogin =  (Button) findViewById(R.id.email_sign_in_button);
    linkToRegister = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Reg_TextView);
    test=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.test);
    //Adding click listener
    buttonLogin.setOnClickListener(this);
    linkToRegister.setOnClickListener(this);
}

Answer 1

You can use SharedPreference :

public class SaveId {

  static final String ID = "ID";

  static SharedPreferences getSharedPreferences(Context ctx) {
      return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
  }

  public static void setId(Context ctx, int value) {
      SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences(ctx).edit();
      editor.putInt(ID, value);
      editor.commit();
  }

  public static String getId(Context ctx) {
      return getSharedPreferences(ctx).getString(ID, "");
  }

}

When you want to set the id call SaveId.setId(yourID); and when you want to get the id call SaveId.getId();

Answer 2

Instead of read and write to SharedPreferences I would prefer a more efficient way to store a simple data like an ID.

There are two ways:

1. If you are using an MVP approach, you could delegate the setter and getter of the ID to your central manager, instead go for option 2

2. Set the id in your custom application and get it through it.

You have to override default application and set it in the manifest.

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    private Integer id;

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }
}

In your activities you can get it through:

((MyApplication) getApplication()).getId();
