passing an array in intent android

Question

So I've always been under the assumption that you can't pass arrays between activities with extras. But I was just going through the Bundle class docs and saw putStringArray(String key, String[] value) and public String[] getStringArray (String key). Are these new? They both say since API lvl 1, but I don't remember being able to pass arrays. Am I going crazy here?

Answer 1

You can pass any Serializable object as extra, so I don't see why you could not pass String array. There is a setExtra(String, Serializable) method in the Intent, that's what I use.

Answer 2

I think you must be able to pass string[] as a bundle in Android. Any specific reason you have for getting into such a conclusion?
