I am at the beginning of an app, I'm an absolute amateur and what i want to do is simple. I am trying to pull Extras from an intent on my first activity into a textview on my second activity First page: what is your name? (type a name and push a button) On the next page: okay so your name is ...(the name they entered) I had an answer to this but had a little trouble understanding it, in the code i have, when i click the okay button just the word okay shows up in the textview rather than the edited text here is my code....
main.java
Button ok;
EditText name;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
ok=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
String a=ok.getText().toString();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), secondactivity.class);
intent.putExtra("NAMEDATA",a);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
