How to bypass intent extras in Android?

Question

I want to know if there is a way to pass all the extras to the new intent.

Is it possible? And is it a good idea?

The reason is that I want to save the login state as a json string, and pass it in between Activities. I don't want to store data with SQLite or anything. Can I bypass all the intent extras to the new intent ?

@Shayan I don't know how to :) I will look for it. Does it require SD Card or Database ? — mobilGelistirici, Nov 06 '13 at 12:08

please consider Shared Preference :

  // Declaration
   public static String KEY = "SESSION";

   public static void saveUserName(String username, Context context) {
        Editor editor = context
                .getSharedPreferences(KEY, Activity.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
        editor.putString("username", username);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public static String getUserName(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences savedSession = context.getSharedPreferences(KEY,
                Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return savedSession.getString("username", "");
    }

You can store the login credentials to preference and retrieve them as well in any of your activity.

SaveUsername("Your text to save", Your_activity.this);

And to retrieve the value

String mUserName = getUserName(YourActivity.this);

It is recommended to have all your preference methods in your utils class to keep the code organized.

Thanks! This looks like exactly what I need. and one question: when does this session get deleted? When the application is closed ? or, sleep? or uninstall? — mobilGelistirici, Nov 06 '13 at 12:11
Case 1 :When you click Settings --> Application --> Manage application --> Your Application --> Clear Data Case 2 : Unistall the app. The preference values remains even if you exit from the application. — Rethinavel, Nov 06 '13 at 12:14

Any of the two may help you.

Saving it in the sharedPreference file.
If you want them to be accessable throught the application you can use the applicationClass, like a global singleton.
