Passing spinner value to another Activity on button click trigger

Question

I have a simple question here yet I still have no idea how to do. So, my class have a Spinner with EditText value which will be passed to another activity. I was able to pass EditText to another activity on button click trigger. But I do not know on how to pass Spinner value that I set in the String like the codes below. Perhaps, someone can show me how can I pass both value to the next activity when I click the button. I hope for the better solution. Thank You.

public class SearchActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
    private EditText editTextProduct;
    private Button btnSearch;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.search_product);

        editTextProduct = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextProduct);
        btnSearch = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSearch);

        btnSearch.setOnClickListener(this);

        initializedSpinner();
    }

    private void initializedSpinner(){
        // Spinner element
        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_search);

        // Spinner Drop down elements
        List<String> categories = new ArrayList<String>();
        categories.add("Search By Name");
        categories.add("Search By Type");

        // Creating adapter for spinner
        ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, categories);

        //spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
        // Drop down layout style - list view with radio button
        dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

        // attaching data adapter to spinner
        spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

                String searchItem = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

                Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),searchItem + " Selected" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

            }
        });
    }

    private void searchData() {
        String productName = editTextProduct.getText().toString().trim();
        if (productName.equals("")) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Please Enter Product Name", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return;
        }
        else{
            Intent i = new Intent(SearchActivity.this, ListProductActivity.class);
            EditText tv5 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextProduct);
            i.putExtra("productName",tv5.getText().toString());
            startActivity(i);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        searchData();
    }
}

make `String searchItem` global to class and use it anywhere you want — Pavneet_Singh, Jan 10 '17 at 13:02
Perhaps this will help (Serialize then pass it in Intent): [Serialization](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2736612/7373508) — Anton Homjak, Jan 10 '17 at 13:08

Try this on spinner click:

String Text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

You will get the string which you select in spinner. Whatever the text value you got you just need to pass via putExtras from intent.

You can pass the values like this:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

      Intent i = new Intent(SearchActivity.this, ListProductActivity.class);
            i.putExtra("editTextValue",editTextProduct.getText().toString());
            i.putExtra("spinnerValue",spinner.getSelectedItem().toString());
            startActivity(i);
    }

String[] stdarray = { "KG", "I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX", "X", "XI", "XII", "Other" };

       ArrayAdapter aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), R.layout.layout_std, stdarray);

       final ListView lv = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listView);

       lv.setAdapter(aa);

       lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
               Tab1.sentfromStd(lv.getItemAtPosition(position).toString()); //I used static method here sentfromStd(), You can also use intents like others said for getting your job done.
           }
       });
