everyone I am encountering a problem with passing the date from the calendar to my Create_Event.class. Initially the date textView displays “text” then when I click the “Select the date” button the calendar page will show and the date is supposed to be passed to textView that originally displays “text”. I tried coding using intent.putExtra to pass the date from the calendar page to the Create_Events page but I got a force close error due to NullPointerException. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks a lot.

For reference, the codes:

Calendar.java

@Override
                public void onClick(View view)
                {
                    String date_month_year = (String)view.getTag();
                    selectedDayMonthYearButton.setText(new StringBuilder().append("Selected:").append(date_month_year));

                    Intent k = new Intent(Calendar_Event.this, Create_Events.class);
                    k.putExtra("passdate", date_month_year);
                 startActivity(k);

Create_Event.java

 Intent intent = this.getIntent();
        if(intent == null)
        {
         String strdata = intent.getExtras().getString("passdate");
         TextView txtDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textDate);
         txtDate.setText(strdata);
         }
        else
        {

        }

***Originally the if(intent == null) is if(intent != null), I thought changing it would work but it doesn’t. 😛

Updated the logcat:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.

Updated:

 Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();  
    if(bundle != null)
    {

        String date = bundle.getString("date");
        TextView txtDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textDate);
        txtDate.setText(date);          
    }

    Use Bundle in Create_Events Activity to get date. Before passing data you first need to check it is null or not.

    Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();

if(bundle != null)
{
    String date = bundle.getString("passdate");
}

    Bundle generally use for passing data between various Activities. It
    depends on you what type of values you want to pass but bundle can
    hold all types of values and pass to the new activity.
