How can I access a component(for example a timepicker) in one activity from another activity in Android?

I want to access a timepicker in an activity from another activity in the same app. For example, if I change the time in the timepicker in one activity, the time in the timepicker in the other activity should also change accordingly. How can I do this?

Solution

  • You can use putExtra to pass data to your new intent.

    int hour = timePicker.getCurrentHour();
int minute = timePicker.getCurrentMinute();
String time = hour + ":" + minute;

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(time, "timeData");
startActivity(intent)

    To view the time.

    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
   String value = extras.getString("timeData");
   //do stuff with the time now...
}
