Passing param to java android class

Question

Here is the class i am passing to

public class AxxessCCPAccountDetails extends Activity {

public AxxessCCPAccountDetails(String username) {

}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.accountdetails);
}

}

Here is the code that i am passing from

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
          int position, long id) {
        // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), AxxessCCPAccountList.class);
        startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
      }
    });

I need to pass a username to a class. How can i pass the param to the class then activate the activity(class) which is linked to a view.

Thanks

Using Intent. You should not create your own constructor for the Activity class.

Here is a short example:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), AxxessCCPAccountList.class);
myIntent.putExtra("username", userName);
myIntent.putExtra("pass", pass);

And then, in your AxxessCCPAccountList.onCreate method:

String userName = this.getIntent().getStringExtra("username");
String pass = this.getIntent.getStringExtra("pass");

String userName = this.getIntent().getExtra("username"); When i try do this it says that getextra does not exist

I forgot that when gettings extras, you do specify the type. So: String userName = this.getIntent().getStringExtra("username");. Ill edit the code now

Add the data to the intent (intent.putExtra() or something), and get it on the other side from the intent in onCreate (intent.getExtra() ) by using the same key.
