url value is not passing to another activity

nemoisback66

Hi all. I'm quite new to android development and I am creating an rss feed type app and trying to load the url in a new activity using a WebView. Currently it opens in a browser which works fine but it wont display in the new activity when the link is selected. Any ideas?

Here is the code from the 1st Activity.

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
Intent i = new Intent(activity, RssSelectionActivity.class);
i.setData(Uri.parse(listItems.get(pos).getLink()));
activity.startActivity(i);

}

And the code from the 2nd Activity

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


WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.detailsWebView);

webView.setInitialScale(1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);


Thanks in advance

It might help if you actually try to reference the url in the second activity.

Thanks for your reply. I did reference the url in the webview like this:

webview.loadUrl("link of url");

But this would open the webpage of the actual url specified not the link from the rss feed.

What way would I pass the link thats clicked to the second activity as there are at least 50+ of these?

Thanks

It helps if you include that when you post your code. Off the top of my head, try...

Sending activity:

i.putExtra("rssData", listItems.get(pos).getLink());

Second activity:

if (savedInstanceState != null)
    Uri rssUri = Uri.parse(extras.getString("rssData"));

I missed that when I posted up sorry.

Thanks for your help I'll try that and see how I get on.
