1,395 PointsNeed help with getting data from Intent (Android)
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
public int mFuelLevel = 0;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
// Add your code below!
Intent intent = getIntent();
mFuelLevel = intent.getShortExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);
} }
I dont understand why i keep getting a compiler error on the above code.
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
public int mFuelLevel = 0;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
// Add your code below!
Intent intent = getIntent();
mFuelLevel = intent.getShortExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);
}
}

Courses Plus Student 56,696 PointsEverything looks good but try getIntExtra instead of getShortExtra. The answer is looking for an int not a short which is the return value for getShortExtra. Hope this helps.
