How do I get extra data from intent on Android?

Question

How can I send data from one activity (intent) to another?

I use this code to send data:

Intent i=new Intent(context,SendMessage.class); i.putExtra("id", user.getUserAccountId()+""); i.putExtra("name", user.getUserFullName()); context.startActivity(i); 

Answer 1

First, get the intent which has started your activity using the getIntent() method:

Intent intent = getIntent(); 

If your extra data is represented as strings, then you can use intent.getStringExtra(String name) method. In your case:

String id = intent.getStringExtra("id"); String name = intent.getStringExtra("name");
