How to pass a value from one Activity to another in Android?

Question

I have created an Activity with a AutuCompleteTextView[ACTV] and button. I enter some text in the ACTV then press the button. After I press the button I want the Activity to go to another Activity. In the second Activity I just want to display the text entered in ACTV(of the first actvity) as a TextView.

I know how to start the second activity which is as below:

Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class); startActivity(i); 

I have coded this to obtain the text entered from the ACTV.

AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete); CharSequence getrec=textView.getText(); 

My question here is how to pass "getrec" (after I press the button) from the first Activity to the second. And later recieve "getrec" in the second activity.

Please assume that I have created the event handler class for the button by using "onClick(View v)"

You can use Bundle to do the same in Android

Create the intent:

Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class); AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete); String getrec=textView.getText().toString();  //Create the bundle Bundle bundle = new Bundle();  //Add your data to bundle bundle.putString(“stuff”, getrec);  //Add the bundle to the intent i.putExtras(bundle);  //Fire that second activity startActivity(i); 

Now in your second activity retrieve your data from the bundle:

//Get the bundle Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();  //Extract the data… String stuff = bundle.getString(“stuff”);
