How do I get extra data from intent on Android?

Question

How can I send data from one activity (intent) to another?

I use this code to send data:

Intent i=new Intent(context,SendMessage.class);
i.putExtra(\         


        

Answer 1

Pass the intent with value on First Activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("uid", uid.toString());
intent.putExtra("pwd", pwd.toString());
startActivity(intent);

Receive intent on second Activity;-

Intent intent = getIntent();
String user = intent.getStringExtra("uid");
String pass = intent.getStringExtra("pwd");

We use generally two method in intent to send the value and to get the value. For sending the value we will use intent.putExtra("key", Value); and during receive intent on another activity we will use intent.getStringExtra("key"); to get the intent data as String or use some other available method to get other types of data (Integer, Boolean, etc.). The key may be any keyword to identify the value means that what value you are sharing. Hope it will work for you.
