copied!<p>I'm going to show you how to <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html" rel="nofollow">send and receive implicit intents</a>. This is useful for sending data to one or many activities, services or broadcast receivers and also between apps. The downside is that it is a 'public' intent (if you do not use the LocalBroadcastManager) so don't send any sensitive information.</p> <ol> <li>Create a send-method that the sender uses.</li> <li>Modify the AndroidManifest.xml for the receiving entity (In your case an Activity)</li> <li>Modify the receiving entity to handle the incoming Intent.</li> </ol> <p>Step one - Create a send-method that the sender uses.:</p> <pre><code>public final static String ACTION_SEND_NAME = "com.example.intent.action.SEND_NAME"; public final static String ACTION_SEND_NAME_EXTRA = "name"; public static void sendPackageName(Context context, String name) { if (null == context || null == name) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Argument(s) may not be null"); } Intent intent = new Intent(ACTION_SEND_NAME); intent.putExtra(ACTION_SEND_NAME_EXTRA, name); //You might add extra these flags intent.addFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP|FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP); //LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcast(intent); //context.sendBroadcast(intent); //context.startService(intent); context.startActivity(intent); } </code></pre> <p>Step two - Modify the AndroidManifest.xml:</p> <pre><code> <activity android:name="com.example.MyActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter>  <action android:name="com.example.intent.action.SEND_NAME" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </code></pre> <p>Step three - Modify the receiving entity:</p> <pre><code>void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) { //... // Get intent, action and MIME type Intent intent = getIntent(); String appName; if (ACTION_SEND_NAME.equals(intent.getAction())) { appName = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.ACTION_SEND_NAME_EXTRA); } </code></pre>
