Android global variable

Question

How can I create global variable keep remain values around the life cycle of the application regardless which activity running..

Answer 1

If possible, you should declare the variables that you need to keep alive that haven't been clear by Garbage Collector or Unload by OS in file .so To do it, you must code by C/C++ and compile to .so lib file and load it in your MainActivity.

Answer 3

This global variable works for my project:

public class Global {
    public static int ivar1, ivar2;
    public static String svar1, svar2;
    public static int[] myarray1 = new int[10];
}


//  How to use other or many activity
Global.ivar1 = 10;

int i = Global.ivar1;

Answer 4

Easy!!!!

Those variable you wanna access as global variable, you can declare them as static variables. And now, you can access those variables by using

classname.variablename;

public class MyProperties {
private static MyProperties mInstance= null;

static int someValueIWantToKeep;

protected MyProperties(){}

public static synchronized MyProperties getInstance(){
    if(null == mInstance){
        mInstance = new MyProperties();
    }
    return mInstance;
}

}

MyProperites.someValueIWantToKeep;

Thats It! ;)

Answer 5

You can use a Singleton Pattern like this:

package com.ramps;

public class MyProperties {
private static MyProperties mInstance= null;

public int someValueIWantToKeep;

protected MyProperties(){}

public static synchronized MyProperties getInstance() {
        if(null == mInstance){
            mInstance = new MyProperties();
        }
        return mInstance;
    }
}

In your application you can access your singleton in this way:

MyProperties.getInstance().someValueIWantToKeep

Answer 6

You could use application preferences. They are accessible from any activity or piece of code as long as you pass on the Context object, and they are private to the application that uses them, so you don't need to worry about exposing application specific values, unless you deal with routed devices. Even so, you could use hashing or encryption schemes to save the values. Also, these preferences are stored from an application run to the next. Here is some code examples that you can look at.
