32 PointsAndroid - passing a value between apps
I have an app that has two users running on two different devices at the same time, a Rider and a Driver. The app is one app with the same package name. I can't seem to pass a value from an activity where the driver is signed into TO an activity where the rider is signed into.
Can this be done? What I am trying to do is, if the rider sends a ride request to the driver and on the driver side, accepts the request, I want an alert to show up in the activity on the riders side. I thought maybe if I declared a String "status" and if btnAccept is clicked,, status = "accepted" and if btnDeny is clicked, status = "denied". Once the button is clicked, the status variable should be passed to the Rider's activity so that the alert will show.
How can I do this?
