Answer 1

You can use intents for the purpose. Here's a tutorial for the same.

Reading the contents of a String on Button click.

 EditText mText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);

Button mButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                          String text = mText.getText.toString();
                          Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
                          intent.putExtra("key", text);
                          startActivity(intent);
                    }
                });

Answer 2

After you have used setContentView(...) you need to reference your EditText and get the text such as...

EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text);
String theText = et.getText().toString();

To pass it to another Activity you use an Intent. Example...

Intent i = new Intent(this, MyNewActivity.class);
i.putExtra("text_label", theText);
startActivity(i);

In the new Activity (in onCreate()), you get the Intent and retrieve the String...

public class MyNewActivity extends Activity {

    String uriString;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(...) {

        ...

        Intent i = getIntent();
        uriString = i.getStringExtra("text_label");

    }
}

Answer 3

Inside your Button's onClick Listener try the following,

String str=editText.getEditableText().toString();

Now use your intent,

Intent intent=new Intent(this,nextActivity.this);
intent.putExtra("editText_value",str);
startActivity(intent);

Answer 4

You have to use Intent to pass data to the next activity.

Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this,NextActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("sampleString", "youstringdata");

In NextActivity:

String sampleData = getIntent().getExtras().getLong("sampleString");
