3,783 PointsWhy use "getIntExtra()" instead of "getStringExtra()"?
I have looked at the documentation for the method but it is still not quite clear. Any help to further elaborate?
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
public int mFuelLevel = 0;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
// Add your code below!
}
}
