Question

How do I return values from a previous Activity?

In the first screen, I have a text field called TXTNIP. But on another screen I have a text field called TXTNIP too.

Both are in different layouts. I want to get the text from the first TXTNIP and put it on the second TXTNIP.

How could I do this?

Read [this](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
) , specifically putExtras() and getExtras().

Here is a rough example of what you should do.

String value;

Intent i = new Intent(currentActivityName.this, nextActivityName.class);
i.putExtras("tag", value);
startActivity(i);

And then in the new activity, you would retrieve it like this.

String x = getIntent.getExtras("tag");
