Im trying to send data class object to another activity with intent but it returned null so i tried sending simple string but it still returns null, i couldn't find what is the problem. Here is my code
code in LoginScreen.kt
val intentUser = Intent(this@LoginScreen,HomeActivity::class.java)
val string = "intent"
intentUser.putExtra("intent",string)
startActivity(intentUser)
finish()
and code in my HomeActivity
val intentUser = Intent()
var string = intentUser.getStringExtra("intent")
Log.e("Intent: ",string.toString())
result
2022-02-23 14:25:09.139 11365-11365/com.scibilisim.d_forceandroid E/Intent:: null
in HomeActivity are initializing the intent like
getintent = Intent() This actually initializes the intent with a new intent object. That is not the desired behavior, to achieve the desired behavior use getIntent() instead of Intent() .
Please try this in your LoginScreen.kt:
val intentUser = Intent(this@LoginScreen,HomeActivity::class.java)
val string = "intent"
intentUser.putString("intent",string)
startActivity(intentUser)
this.finish()
and in your HomeActivity:
val string = intent!!.getStringExtra("intent")
The error is that you are instantiating a new Intent object.
