Question

I am new to android. Here am trying to pass the radiobutton and Checkbox values from one activity to another activity. Its not showing any error but when I run it simply gets closed. Any help would be appreciated.Here I have posted the complete code..

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {


Intent obj = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
Bundle extras = new Bundle();

RadioButton male, female, single, married;
CheckBox twelveth, bE, mE;
String s1="+2";
String s2="B.E.";
String s3="M.E.";
StringBuilder s;
String str;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    male = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.male);
    female = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.female);
    single = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.single);
    married = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.married);
    twelveth = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.twelveth);
    bE = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.BE);
    mE = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.ME);

    str=s.toString();
    extras.putString("Education",str);
}

public void onGenderClicked(View v) {
    boolean checked = ((RadioButton) v).isChecked();
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.male:
            if (checked)
                extras.putString("Gender", "Male");
            break;
        case R.id.female:
            if (checked)
                extras.putString("Gender", "Female");
            break;

    }
}

public void onStatusClicked(View v) {
    boolean checked = ((RadioButton) v).isChecked();
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.single:
            if (checked)
                extras.putString("Status", "Single");
            break;
        case R.id.married:
            if (checked)
                extras.putString("Status", "Married");
            break;

    }
}

public void ButtonClick(View v) {
    obj.putExtras(extras);
    startActivity(obj);
}

public void onCheckBoxClicked(View v)
{
    boolean checked=((CheckBox)v).isChecked();
    switch(v.getId())
    {
        case R.id.twelveth:
            if(checked)
            {
                s.append("\n"+s1);
            }
            break;
        case R.id.BE:
            if(checked)
            {
                s.append("\n"+s2);
            }
            break;
        case R.id.ME:
            if(checked)
            {
                s.append("\n"+s3);
            }
            break;
    }
    str=s.toString();
    extras.putString("Education",str);

Answer 1

from the second activity declare in Manifest, remove tags

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

i think starting activity as MAIN while it's not MAIN may cause this problem also in documentaion

Activity Action: Start as a main entry point, does not expect to receive data.

EDIT: also move

str=s.toString();
extras.putString("Education",str);

inside onClick that starts the 2nd activity
