How to pass List's content to another Activity Android

Question

I'm trying to pass List from one Activity to another. As I checked by Logs, in FindAllPairsEasyActivity it puts player_points to the list but I can't read it in ProgressActivity.

What I want is to display a set of points as ListView because there are few games.

FindAllPairsEasyActivity.java (only two methods):

public class FindAllPairsEasyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 ArrayList<Integer> findAllPairsList = new ArrayList<>(); 
...

 public void saveScore() {
        //Log.i("info","saveScore w find all pairs easy");
        SharedPreferences preferences = this.getSharedPreferences(usernameView.getText().toString(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
        int totalScore = preferences.getInt("totalScore",0);
        totalScore = totalScore + player_points;
        editor.putInt("rts_score",player_points);
        findAllPairsList.add(player_points);
        //Log.i("d","FindAllPairsEasy findAllPairsList: " + findAllPairsList);
        editor.putInt("total_score",totalScore);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public ArrayList<Integer> getList() {
        return findAllPairsList;
    }

ProgressActivity.java:

public class ProgressActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public ListView list;
    TextView usernameView, myProgressView, totalScoreView;

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

        totalScoreView = findViewById(R.id.totalScoreView);
        myProgressView = findViewById(R.id.myProgressView);

        //List <Integer> findAllPairsList = findAllPairsEasyActivity.getList();

        AssetManager am = getApplicationContext().getAssets();
        Typeface logoFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(am, String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "fonts/%s","FjallaOne-Regular.ttf"));
        Typeface myProgressFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(am, String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "fonts/%s","Montserrat-Regular.ttf"));
        myProgressView.setTypeface(logoFont);
        myProgressView.setText("My Progress");

        list =  findViewById(R.id.listView1);

        String user = getIntent().getStringExtra("username");
        usernameView = findViewById(R.id.username_progress);
        usernameView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        usernameView.setText("" + user);

        //ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.activity_progress,R.id.listView1,cars);

        SharedPreferences preferences =  this.getSharedPreferences(usernameView.getText().toString(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        int rts_score = preferences.getInt("rts_score",0);
        int mc_score = preferences.getInt("mc_score",0);
        int g_score = preferences.getInt("g_score",0);
        int ftt_score = preferences.getInt("ftt_score",0);

        int total_score = rts_score + mc_score + g_score + ftt_score;

        FindAllPairsEasyActivity findAllPairsEasyActivity = new FindAllPairsEasyActivity();
        list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,findAllPairsEasyActivity.getList()));


        Log.i("list","findAllPairsList content: " + findAllPairsEasyActivity.getList().size());

        totalScoreView.setTypeface(logoFont);
        totalScoreView.setText("Total score: " + total_score);
    }
}

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Is it really necessary to save data in SharedPreference , if the motive is just sending data?

Why not just use putExtra to send data and use getSerializableExtra to get data?

Activity FindAllPairsEasyActivity:

ArrayList<Integer> findAllPairsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
intent.putExtra("my_list", findAllPairsList);
startActivity(intent);

Activity ProgressActivity:

ArrayList<Integer> findAllPairsList = getIntent().getSerializableExtra("my_list");
