After completing the previous lesson, you have an app that shows an activity (a single screen) with a text field and a button. In this lesson, you’ll add some code toMyActivity that starts a new activity when the user clicks the Send button.

Respond to the Send Button

  1. In Android Studio, from the res/layout directory, edit thecontent_my.xml file.
  2. Add the android:onClick attribute to the <Button> element.
    res/layout/content_my.xml
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/button_send"
        android:onClick="sendMessage" />
    
    The android:onClick attribute’s value, "sendMessage", is the name of a method in your activity that the system calls when the user clicks the button.
  3. In the java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp directory, open the MyActivity.java file.
  4. Within the MyActivity class, add the sendMessage() method stub shown below.
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    /** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
    public void sendMessage(View view) {
        // Do something in response to button
    }
    
    In order for the system to match this method to the method name given to android:onClick, the signature must be exactly as shown. Specifically, the method must:
    • Be public
    • Have a void return value
    • Have a View as the only parameter (this will be the View that was clicked)

Next, you’ll fill in this method to read the contents of the text field and deliver that text to another activity.

Build an Intent

  1. In MyActivity.java, inside the sendMessage() method, create an Intent to start an activity calledDisplayMessageActivity with the following code:
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    public void sendMessage(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
    }
    
    Note: The reference to DisplayMessageActivity will raise an error if you’re using an IDE such as Android Studio because the class doesn’t exist yet. Ignore the error for now; you’ll create the class soon. The constructor used here takes two parameters:
    • Context as its first parameter (this is used because the Activity class is a subclass of Context)
    • The Class of the app component to which the system should deliver the Intent (in this case, the activity that should be started) Android Studio indicates that you must import the Intent class.
  2. At the top of the file, import the Intent class:
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    import android.content.Intent;
    
    Tip: In Android Studio, press Alt + Enter (option + return on Mac) to import missing classes.
  3. Inside the sendMessage() method, use findViewById() to get the EditText element.
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    public void sendMessage(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
        EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
    }
    
  4. At the top of the file, import the EditText class. In Android Studio, press Alt + Enter (option + return on Mac) to import missing classes.
  5. Assign the text to a local message variable, and use the putExtra() method to add its text value to the intent.
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    public void sendMessage(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
        EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
        String message = editText.getText().toString();
        intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
    }
    
    An Intent can carry data types as key-value pairs called extras. The putExtra() method takes the key name in the first parameter and the value in the second parameter.
  6. At the top of the MyActivity class, add the EXTRA_MESSAGE definition as follows:
    java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java
    public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
        public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.mycompany.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
        ...
    }
    
    For the next activity to query the extra data, you should define the key for your intent's extra using a public constant. It's generally a good practice to define keys for intent extras using your app's package name as a prefix. This ensures the keys are unique, in case your app interacts with other apps.
  7. In the sendMessage() method, to finish the intent, call the startActivity() method, passing it theIntent object created in step 1.

With this new code, the complete sendMessage() method that's invoked by the Send button now looks like this:

java/com.mycompany.myfirstapp/MyActivity.java

/** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
    String message = editText.getText().toString();
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
    startActivity(intent);
}

The system receives this call and starts an instance of the Activity specified by the Intent. Now you need to create the DisplayMessageActivity class in order for this to work.
