Advantages of using Bundle instead of direct Intent putExtra() in Android
In my android application I'm always using direct putExtra() function of Intent class to pass any number of value to new Activity .
Like this:
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class);
i.putExtra(ID_EXTRA1, "1");
i.putExtra(ID_EXTRA2, "111");
startActivity(i);
I know about Bundle in Android and I have seen people are using Bundle for passing values to new Activity .
Like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class);
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("EXTRA_USERNAME","my_username");
extras.putString("EXTRA_PASSWORD","my_password");
intent.putExtras(extras);
startActivity(intent);
Here I have 2 doubts.
Why should I use Bundle if I can pass values to new Activity by putting it directly to Intent ?
What are the advantages of using Bundle instead of direct Intent putExtra() ?
It makes little (if any difference). The code using an additional bundle is slightly heavier (it won't make any difference in any practical application) and slightly easier to manage, being more general.
If one day you decide that - before sending information inside an intent - you want to serialize the data to database - it will be a bit cleaner to have a bundle that you can serialize, add to an intent and then feed to a PendingBundle - all with one object.
[update]
A clarification (because of some other answers).
Extras is an additional bundle that each Intent might carry (but doesn't have to), so there is no alternative between using a bundle or not using it. You are using a bundle either way.
The first time you use putExtra , a mExtras bundle inside Intent is initialized and all the following putExtra are delegated to it. The bundle itself is inaccessible to you (this is by design, to avoid certain kind of bugs).
putExtras does not put your bundle inside Intent. Instead, it copies it over to the current intent bundle (or creates one, as with putExtra ). This is why it's slightly heavier (you have two bundles instead of one and pay the price of copying).
The crux is - if you use putExtras , you still cannot access the real bundle inside the intent. BUT - you have a copy for whatever else you might want to do with it. Like keep around to copy into another intent (if you send a lot of similar intents).
Additional advantage : Once data is put in a Bundle, you can send the same data through multiple intents. (Only in the case, multiple intents are to be sent).
Bundles are cool because you can isolate their creation/reading more easily, therefore separating the code handling the bundles from the code of the UI.
In most case that's useless as you'll want to transmit the smallest possible amount of data (usually just a couple of strings, an id ...)
