Modified Activity Starter to allow

[pepemont]

Hello everyone,

I was able to modify Activity Starter (as a new extension call Xactivity Starter) to allow setting beginTime and endTime of an event into Android calendar.

The change to code source was trivial :

if (key.length() != 0 && value.length() != 0) {
        Log.i("ActivityStarter", "Adding extra (pairs), key = " + key + " value = " + value);


        if (key.startsWith("B.")) {
key = key.substring(2);
intent.putExtra(key, Byte.parseByte(value)); };

        if (key.startsWith("l.")) {
key = key.substring(2);
intent.putExtra(key, Long.parseLong(value));}

        else intent.putExtra(key, value);
      }
    }

    return intent;
  }

Any key starting with "B." or "l." will be passed as boolean or long respectively.

Example of use :

Enjoy !
