java - How to transfer a Uri image from one activity to another?

Question

In my app I need to transfer a Uri image from my first Activity to another. I know how to send a Bitmap through an intent. I'm a bigginer programmer so I don't know what would be better to do: transfer the Uri with an intent or change the Uri to a Bitmap then send that?

Answer 1

use with putExtra to send the Uri Path:

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent .setClass(ThisActivity.this,  NewActivity.class);
            intent .putExtra("KEY", Uri);
            startActivity(intent );

In the newActivity OnCreate method:

   Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras != null && extras.containsKey("KEY")) {
        Uri= extras.getString("KEY");
    }

Use those func: Uri to String:

Uri uri;
String stringUri;
stringUri = uri.toString();

String to Uri:

Uri uri;
String stringUri;
uri = Uri.parse(stringUri);
