Help Intents life cycle

[Omar Alharbi]

Hi,

My query is regarding intents specifically implicit intents. When I send an intent using startActivity(intent), and the receiving application extract the needed information for it, do I still have the same intent if I call getIntent() and no other application sent intents out. For Example,

//sendingIntents
startActivity(intent)

// intital call of getIntent()
Intent i = new Intent();
firstIntent = getIntent();
varX = i.getExtra().getBoolean("test");

//Second call of getIntent();
secondIntent = getIntent();
varY = i.getExtra().getBoolean("test")

would varY have the same value as varX, or the getIntent() call in secondIntent will return null?

varY has exactly the same value as varX, as the method getIntent() returns the same object in both cases.
