How do I get extra data from intent on Android?

How might I send information from one activity (intent) to another?

I utilize this code to send data:

Intent i=new Intent(context,SendMessage.class);

i.putExtra("id", user.getUserAccountId()+"");

i.putExtra("name", user.getUserFullName());

context.startActivity(i);

First, get the intent which has started your activity using the getIntent() method:



Intent intent = getIntent();

If your extra data is represented as strings, then you can use intent.getStringExtra(String name) method. In your case:



String id = intent.getStringExtra("id");

String name = intent.getStringExtra("name");

In the receiving activity

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); 

String userName;



if (extras != null) {

    userName = extras.getString("name");

    // and get whatever type user account id is

}
