Passing long with an intent, always getting error

Question

I need to pass a long (_id) with an intent from Activity A to Activity B, using this code: ``` Intent vip0= new Intent(this, PageSinglePlayerGuess.class); vip0.putExtra("resid", (long) 1); startActivity(vip0); ``` and getting it in Activity B with this method (called in onCreate()): ``` public long getResId() { Intent i= getIntent(); resid= i.getLongExtra("resid", 1); Log.d("D", "Risorsa: " + resid); return resid; } ``` resid in ActB is a long. I get this error: ``` 06-06 11:10:47.138: W/Bundle(538): Key resid expected Long but value was a java.lang.Integer. The default value 1 was returned. 06-06 11:10:47.158: W/Bundle(538): Attempt to cast generated internal exception: 06-06 11:10:47.158: W/Bundle(538): java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to java.lang.Long 06-06 11:10:47.158: W/Bundle(538): at android.os.Bundle.getLong(Bundle.java:966) 06-06 11:10:47.158: W/Bundle(538): at android.content.Intent.getLongExtra(Intent.java:3874) 06-06 11:10:47.158: W/Bundle(5…

Accepted Answer

According to the log the problem seems to be in following:

`resid= i.getLongExtra("resid", 1);`

so change it to:

`resid= i.getLongExtra("resid", 1L);`

BTW: the getLongExtra implementation looks like this:

```
public long getLongExtra(String name, long defaultValue) {
   return mExtras == null ? defaultValue : mExtras.getLong(name, defaultValue);
}
```

So that's why see that it fails at line:

```
at android.os.Bundle.getLong(Bundle.java:966)
```
