When you start a new activity, you can send a bundle with it. Bundles can contain data like strings, booleans, ints, pretty much anything.

For example:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("value_1", value1);
bundle.putInt("value_2", value2);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
this.startActivity(intent);

And in your second activities onCreate method, you can get the values from the bundle like:

@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second_activity);

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
String value1 = bundle.getString("value_1");
String value2 = bundle.getString("value_2");

ok thanks vary vary match but could you give me hint for using just only arrays or using the method put extra for passing information form one activity to another – Reema Jul 24 '13 at 23:22
To pass arrays around just use the method of the bundle to put an array,e.g.: bundle.putStringArray(key, value); bundle.putIntArray(key, value);(key, value); – athor Jul 24 '13 at 23:32
If it answers your question you can choose the tick above to accept the answer :) – athor Jul 25 '13 at 00:06

First associate EditText to a variable:

`EditText bananas = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.bananastext);`

Then get value of it:

`int value = Integer.parseInt(bananas.getText().toString());`

Then create an Intent and attach on it value:

`intent.put("bananas",value);`

Then from the other activity create a Bundle and get value:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras;
Int value = extras.getInt("bananas");`
