Common Method to switch Activities

April 22, 2024

I am trying to find out whether we can create a common method to switch between activities and while doing so I thought to write code as:

private fun goToActivity(activity: AppCompatActivity){
    val intent = Intent(this, activity::class.java)
    startActivity(intent)
}

calling the method

    goToActivity(MainActivity2())

Is this the a good to do this thing or any other method that saves rewriting the piece of code again and again written in "goToActivity"?

>Solution :

Try this. Below will handle all your needs.

/**
     * @param context          Context fromactivity or fragment
     * @param bundle           Bundle of values for next Activity
     * @param destinationClass Destination Activity
     * @param isFinish         Current activity need to finish or not
     */
    public void newIntent(Context context, Class destinationClass, Bundle bundle, boolean isFinish, boolean isFlags) {
        if (!isActivityRunning(context)) {
            return;
        }
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, destinationClass);
        intent.putExtras(bundle);
        if (isFlags) {
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        }
        context.startActivity(intent);
        if (isFinish) {
            ((Activity) context).finish();
        }
    }

CommonFunctions.getInstance().newIntent(OrdersActivity.this, HomeActivity.class, Bundle.EMPTY, true,true);

Use bundle like this

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
                bundle.putString("name", "");
CommonFunctions.getInstance().newIntent(this, CartViewActivity.class, bundle, false, false);
