Intent Extras Remain The Same Even When Updated

I am trying to pass a small bit of text between Activity instances using an Intent with extras. This seems to work fine whenever I navigate between them using the back button or na

Solution 1:

I remember running into this issue once, we solved it by either adding Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to the intent you are sending:

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

or by implementing the following method into the activity you're intent is launching:

@OverrideprotectedvoidonNewIntent(final Intent intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        this.setIntent(intent);
}

I'm not 100% sure what fixed it again, believe it was adding the onNewIntent method. Good luck and let us know.

Solution 2:

as @Lauw says :

protectedvoidonNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    this.setIntent(intent);
}

this.setIntent(intent);

This line solved the problem for me.

Solution 3:

Also removing intent extras with intent.removeExtra("key") can help to update incoming new extras.

This approach helped for my case, when I was trying to launch app A from app B. Everything worked when app A wasn't opened, but when app A was already opened, I had to use the removeExtra method to get the updates.
