Question

I am trying to pass a string from one activity to another. I do not seem to be able to get the extra form the intent. Where am I going wrong?

Here is the code

To put the extra into the intent:

public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String string = editTextFeild.getText().toString();
    Intent i = new Intent("com.com.com.otherclass");
    i.putExtra("dat", string);
    startActivity(new Intent("com.com.com.otherclass"));
}

To get the data from the intent (in the com.com.com.otherclass) :

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null){
    String string = bundle.getString("dat");
    textView.setText(string);
}

p.s. These are not the actual names I use in the code 🙂

Thanks in advance 🙂

In your startActivity line, you’re creating a new Intent. Pass it ‘i’ instead.

startActivity(i);
