Android Question Intent to get data into a service

tucano2000 · May 16, 2014

[TUTORIAL] Inter-app Communication with Intents say:

B4X:
5. Code the Requester to accept the data
Again this code is very similar to the Provider except that it gets the data:

B4X:

Sub Activity_Resume Dim in as Intent in = Activity.GetStartingIntent If in <> null Then If In.HasExtra("Settings") Then AcceptSettings 'Do something here with your settings End If End If End Sub

I need to do this in a service to retrieve putextra and I do not want to load the activity. Is it possible? How?

No necessary more. I already got this way:

B4X:

Sub Service_Start(startingIntent As Intent) 
  
    Log(startingIntent.GetExtra("test_key"))
 
End Sub

1. This is an old thread. You should always ceate a new thread for a new question instead of pulling out an OLD one...
2. Create a new one and GIVE US MUCH MORE INFORMATIONS.
3. Search for inter app communication. Search for Intent filters and how they work. MAybe app deeplinking is right for you; search for it
