Sharing data between activities

[bluedude]

Hi,

I have been using the sliding panels for a long while to have multiple screens inside one activity but all gets very slow.

I want to know what is the best way to share data between activities?

I have a main acitivity where I execute and process all http REST services async. However, I want to split up everything now in activities but let the main activity do the http handling. As far as I know you cannot make a static code module of this because you cannot do that with the http handling?

So what is the best way to share portions of data between activities?

Cheers,

First, for Http calls I recommend you to use HttpUtils: Basic4android Search: HttpUtil

You can use process global variables to share data between activities. See the two activities example: Basic4android Search: Two activities

Erel,

Does this make my REST calls slower? I have a main screen where people see immediately the result of a REST request.

They click on something, the REST is called and when the results come in it displays these results.

Would the httputils service slow it down?

Cheers,

Erel,

Looked into it but my REST service accepts the GET method and it uses a style like:

myurl.com: The Leading Domain Names Site on the Net

So no variables like ?id=4&date=12042011

I need to work with jobid's because I have multiple REST services with all different results.

HttpUtils will not slow down your calls.

I didn't understand the problem with the GET method...
