How to share simple beans between activities?

Question

I have aa simple Java bean that gets filled in my second activity. When I return back to my first activity(main activity) I want to have access to this data. But so far I have no idea how to do it.

Can anyone provide me with a code example of how to pass beans between Activities?

Kind regards

Shared Preferences if you have string data

Singleton class if you have objects to pass around.

If you want guaranteed persistance use database.
