about TypedArray obtainTypedArry

I wrote those two lines :

final  String[] options = res.getStringArray(breakFastNames);
final  TypedArray icons = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.breakFastIcons);

The first one is working. But the second one is giving an error when I put it inside putExtra: 

mIntent.putExtra("OPTIONS",options[i]);
mIntent.putExtra("ICONS", icons[i]);

Kindly if someone is able to solve this issue, that will be strongly appreciated.

Solution

  • A TypedArray is an instance of the class TypedArray, it is not a Java array, so you cannot reference a single value of the array using [i].

    Assuming that icons is an array of Drawable, use this instead:

    mIntent.putExtra("OPTIONS",options[i]);
mIntent.putExtra("ICONS", icons.getDrawable(i));
