How to start new activity on button click

Question

In an Android application, how do you start a new activity (GUI) when a button in another activity is clicked, and how do you pass data between these two activities?

Answer 1

When button is clicked:

loginBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Intent intent= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NextActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("data", value); //pass data
        startActivity(intent);
    }
});

To received the extra data from NextActivity.class :

Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extra != null){
    String str = (String) extra.get("data"); // get a object
}
