pass data from intent to an other intent

Question

I have two Intents and two Activitys.

I have in the first Intent an EditText.

I want to use the text in the EditText in the second intent and pass to the second intent

Intent myIntent = new Intent(mycurentActivity.this, secondActivity.class);
startActivity(myIntent); 

Thank you in advance

Your looking for Intent#putExtra(String, String).

Here is an example:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(mycurentActivity.this, secondActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("key", myEditText.Text.toString();
startActivity(myIntent); 

When your receiving the Intent you can extract it again:

String text = myIntent.getStringExtra("key");
