How to pass a URI to an intent?

I'm trying to pass a URI-Object to my Intent in order to use that URI in another activity.

How do I pass a URI?

private Uri imageUri;
....
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GoogleActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("imageUri", imageUri);
startActivity(intent);
this.finish();

How do I use now this URI in my other activity?

 imageUri = extras.getString("imageUri"); // I know thats wrong ...
Solution

  • you can store the uri as string 

    intent.putExtra("imageUri", imageUri.toString());

    and then just convert the string back to uri like this

    Uri myUri = Uri.parse(extras.getString("imageUri"));
