Is there any way to put extras to Intent from preferences?

Hi i'm launching activity from preferences screen. Activity is shared among three preferences. I wonder if i can set extras for this activity in xml

<Preference
    android:key="action_1"
    android:title="@string/action_1_title"
>
    <intent
        android:action="com.package.SHAREDACTION"
    >

    </intent>
</Preference>

i wonder if i can do something like

<extras>
     <item
      android:name=""
      android:value=""/>
</extras>

All i need to do to pass an integer really. I can different actions and check action instead of extras.

Solution

  • As your extras are not constants, you should pass them in the java code instead of xml.

    Intent intent = new Intent( this, YourTargetActivity.class );
intent.putExtra( EXTRAS_KEY, extras );
yourPref.setIntent( intent );
