How to solve passing value from one activity to another activity by using new intent?

Question

I am passing value from one activity to another activity by using a new Intent as like follows code but when I want to get the passing value from another activity it shows that the value is null.

First Activity from where the data is passing

Intent intent = new Intent();
            Log.e("Pass Profile Name: ",""+profileName.getText());
            intent.putExtra("profileName",profileName.getText());
            setResult(RESULT_OK,intent);
            finish();

Second Activity getting the passing data code

String pName = getIntent().getStringExtra("profileName");
        Log.e("Profile Name",""+pName);

and the pName is null here.Can someone help me out why this is happened...

Answer 1

Try it like this way

Intent intent=new Intent(this,youractivity.class);
intent.putExtra("profileName",profileName.getText().toString);
startActivity(intent);

for recieving

Intent intent=getIntent();
String pName = intent.getStringExtra("profileName");

If profileName is an Edittext, you need to add .toString after you get the Editable profileName.getText()

Like this:

intent.putExtra("profileName",profileName.getText().toString());
