Question

I have three activities, say I have the data from ActivityA, and I want ActivityC to retrieve it but it must go through ActivityB which I don’t want it do anything about the passed data. Is there anyway to do it?

I have tried

ActivityA.java

Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityB.class);
i.putExtra("DATA1", "Hello");
i.putExtra("DATA2", "World");
startActivity(i);

ActivityB.java doesn’t do anything about it but it must be seen before ActivityC.

ActivityC.java

Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
String data1 = b.getString("DATA1");
String data2 = b.getString("DATA2");

But it gives me this exception

which points to String data1 = b.getString("DATA1");

Is there any way to do this correctly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When calling from B to C, add to your intent:

myIntent.putExtras(getIntent().getExtras());
