I have the get location method running on the mainactivity which gets the latitude and longitude of the user and stores it in the form of a string.
My cardview holds the contacts added by the user in the phone in the form of a recyclerview in the mainactivity itself.
How can I transfer the two strings of Latitude and Longitude that I get from the main activity to my cardview customAdapter that is supposed to take that location and send an sms whenever that particular contact’s cardview is pressed.
I tried using putExtra to pass the string but I get the cannot resolve method error right now.
This is my updateLocation()method that records the location data in the MainActivity
private void updateLocation(Location location) {
//update the location of the person
x = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
y = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
Toast.makeText(this,"Latitude = "+x,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(this,"Longitude = "+y,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent SendLocation = new Intent(this, CustomAdapter.class);
SendLocation.putExtra("mLatitude", x);
SendLocation.putExtra("mLongitude", y);
}
and this is my cardview customAdapter
public class CustomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
private Context context;
public ArrayList Contact_id, Contact_Name, Contact_number;
public ImageView mDelete, mMakeCall, mSendText;
public String Latitude="0",Longitude="0";
CustomAdapter(Context context, ArrayList Contact_id, ArrayList Contact_Name, ArrayList Contact_number,String mLatitude,String mLongitude) {
this.context = context;
this.Contact_id = Contact_id;
this.Contact_Name = Contact_Name;
this.Contact_number = Contact_number;
this.Latitude= mLatitude;
this.Longitude=mLongitude;
}
@NonNull
@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.cardview_contact_item, parent, false);
return new MyViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.Contact_Name_txt.setText(String.valueOf(Contact_Name.get(position)));
holder.Contact_Number_txt.setText(String.valueOf(Contact_number.get(position)));
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return Contact_id.size();
}
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView Contact_id_txt, Contact_Name_txt, Contact_Number_txt;
public MyViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mDelete = itemView.findViewById(R.id.Cardview_delete);
mMakeCall = itemView.findViewById(R.id.Cardview_MakeCall);
mSendText = itemView.findViewById(R.id.Cardview_MakeText);
Contact_Name_txt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.CardView_Name);
Contact_Number_txt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.CardView_Number);
SharedPreferences mPreference = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPreference.edit();
mDelete.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Item Removed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
mMakeCall.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Calling Contact", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
mSendText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String phonenumber = Contact_Number_txt.getText().toString();
try {
Latitude = "drats";
SmsManager mySmsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
mySmsManager.sendTextMessage(phonenumber, null, "I NEED HELP AT LATITUDE:" + Latitude + "LONGITUDE" + Longitude, null, null);
Toast.makeText(context, "Alert Message Sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(context, "LATITUDE:" + Latitude, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(context, "LONGITUDE:" + Longitude, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(context, "Something went wrong/Fields are Empty", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
//Toast.makeText(context,"The number is "+phonenumber, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}//End of OnCreate

I would really love any assistance in helping me figure this out.

If I understood the situation correctly, you can do something like this :-
Add two more parameters in your adapter constructor like this:
Now, in your MainActivity, have two Strings like this :
And pass these two temporarily in the adapter while making an instance.
And change the updateLocation() to something like this :
If you need any further clarification, let me know.
Okay, you can pass Longitude and Latitude through the CustomAdapter constructor while creating an object of the CustomAdapter in MainActivity.Follow below code:
But, I won’t recommend you to do it this way, a better approach would be using an interface.
