I have came across a tutorial on how to show data taken from user in one activity to be displayed on another activity and I tried to come up with my own version (from my very limited knowledge).

Here is the code for the first activity which accepts data through

package kk.screen;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class ScreenActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

EditText inputName;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

public void btnclick(View view) {

    inputName = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.name);
    Intent nextscreen = new Intent(this, newscreen.class);

    //Sending value to the next activity

    nextscreen.putExtra("name",inputName.getText().toString());
    startActivity(nextscreen);
 }
}

And here is the code for the next Activity which should be activated upon the click of the button whose id is “btnclick” :

package kk.screen;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class newscreen extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.newscreen);

TextView txtName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtName);

Intent i=getIntent();

//Receiving the data
String name = i.getStringExtra("name");

//Display received data
txtName.setText(name);

 }
}

The problem is that upon the clicking of the button, the app just crashes and I go back to my home screen.

What could be the problem?? Should I be using OnClickListener() ?? (That seems to be the major difference between my approach and the tutorial’s approach)
