copied!<p>You can pass around objects via an intent. The extras function of an intent can store a bundle and send it to specified activities, however they cannot be called at any time (like from a later activity without being explicitly sent). If this is a one time pass to a different activity, the you'd probably want to use that.</p> <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#putExtras%28android.content.Intent%29" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#putExtras%28android.content.Intent%29</a></p> <p>Here is an example from a test app I made a while back:</p> <pre><code>public void onClick(View v) { switch(v.getId()) { //this references the unique ID of the view that was clicked case R.id.Button01: //this is what happens when the Button in the XML with android:id="@+id/Button01" is clicked Intent nameGreet = new Intent(this, MainMenu.class);//creates Intent which will send the EditText input String theName = firstName.getText().toString();// creates a new string named "theName" which is the text from an EditText called "firstName" nameGreet.putExtra("helloName", theName);//puts the input from EditText into the Intent, this is a key/value pair this.startActivity(nameGreet);//setting off the Intent break; </code></pre> <p>Then you catch it like so:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); this.setContentView(R.layout.main_menu); String personsname = this.getIntent().getStringExtra("helloName"); welcome = (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.TextView01); welcome.setText(personsname); </code></pre> <p>Hope this helps.</p>
