Question

I’m new at Android development, and I would like to know something.

I know that, if I want to go to another activity I have to do :

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AnotherActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

But if my AnotherActivity contains for example a String or any variable, that I want to set before reaching it, how to do ? I would like to do something like :

AnotherActivity activity = new AnotherActivity();
activity.setValue("myValue");
// call the activity ?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), AnotherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("extra_name", "extra_value");
startActivity(intent);

Then in AnotherActivity:

String extra_value = getIntent().getStringExtra("extra_name", "default_extra_value");
