title: Android - Trouble passing variables between activities using intents
body: <p>I'm new to Android and I'm just trying to pass two doubles from one activity to another. This question has been asked several different times on this site in several different ways, but something about my implementation is causing my app to force close. I think my problem may be with my "savedInstanceState" Bundle in the activity I'm trying to pass the variables to. I left out a lot of code obviously, but I included all the places where Bundles are used.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] - I found a bad programming solution for what I need to do. I put public static variables in the receiving class and access them from the sending class. I realize this is bad programming, but it does what I want. Thanks to all who tried to help. I'm going to continue to try to do this the proper way.</p>
  
  <p>Without the i.putExtra lines and any lines involving the Bundle extra, it works fine.  Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int lat = 0;
  int lon = 0;
  private void createNote() {
      Intent i = new Intent(this, NoteEdit.class);
      i.putExtra("lat", lat);
      i.putExtra("lon", lon);
      startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_CREATE);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the activity I sent them to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
      Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();
      int lat = extra.getInt("lat");
      int lon = extra.getInt("lon");
  
  mRowId = (savedInstanceState == null) ? null : (Long) savedInstanceState.getSerializable(NotesDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID);
      if (mRowId == null) {
          Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
          mRowId = extras != null ? extras.getLong(NotesDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
      }
  }
  
  @Override
  protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
      super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
      saveState();
      outState.putSerializable(NotesDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, mRowId);
  }
  
  @Override
  protected void onPause() {
      super.onPause();
      saveState();
  }
  
  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
      super.onResume();
      populateFields();
  }
  
  private void saveState() {
      String title = mTitleText.getText().toString();
      String body = mBodyText.getText().toString();
      String lattitude = mLatText.getText().toString();
      String longitude = mLonText.getText().toString();
      String date = mDateText.getText().toString();
      String time = mTimeText.getText().toString();
  
      if (mRowId == null) {
          long id = mDbHelper.createNote(title, body, lattitude, longitude, date, time);
          if (id &gt; 0) {
              mRowId = id;
          }
      } else {
          mDbHelper.updateNote(mRowId, title, body, lattitude, longitude, date, time);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
