How to send data to created activity on Android

Question

I need to send data from EditText in activity A to Activity B. I tried:

Intent intent1=new Intent(A.this,B.class);
intent1.putExtra("fromA", "text");
startActivity(intent1); 

But It doesn't work, because activity B has android:launchMode="singleTask" and was created before.

How else, can I send data?

Answer 1

You override onNewIntent() in the Activity B and receive the intent in that method.

Like below code:

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent i)
{
  String s = i.getStringExtra("fromA");
}

In the above code you will get value to s from Activity A.
