Passing a Bundle on startActivity()?

What's the correct way to pass a bundle to the activity that is being launched from the current one? Shared properties?

You have a few options:

1) Use the Bundle from the Intent:

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle extras = mIntent.getExtras();
extras.putString(key, value);  

2) Create a new Bundle

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle mBundle = new Bundle();
mBundle.putString(key, value);
mIntent.putExtras(mBundle);

3) Use the putExtra() shortcut method of the Intent

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
mIntent.putExtra(key, value);


Then, in the launched Activity, you would read them via:

String value = getIntent().getExtras().getString(key)

NOTE: Bundles have "get" and "put" methods for all the primitive types, Parcelables, and Serializables. I just used Strings for demonstrational purposes.

You can use the Bundle from the Intent:

Bundle extras = myIntent.getExtras();
extras.put*(info);

Or an entire bundle:

myIntent.putExtras(myBundle);

Is this what you're looking for?

Write this is the activity you are in:

Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this,NextActivity.class);
intent.putExtras("string_name","string_to_pass");
startActivity(intent);

In the NextActivity.java

Intent getIntent = getIntent();
//call a TextView object to set the string to
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview_id);
text.setText(getIntent.getStringExtra("string_name"));

This works for me, you can try it.
