You can use Intent to pass values from one Activity to another:

First Activity that calls the other:

Intent i = new Intent(this, Activity.class);
i.putExtra("SomeIdentifierName", myClassObj);
startActivity(i);

The called Activity gets the data via:

Intent i = getIntent();
MyClass myClassObj = (MyClass)i.getSerializableExtra("SomeIdentifierName");

You can e.g. use SharedPreferences or extend Application class. Read more in this article - How to share same data between multiple activities in android?

To obtain shared preferences, use the following method In your activity:

SharedPreferences sp= this.getSharedPreferences("LOGINSTATUS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
editor.putInt("counter", ++counter);
editor.commit();

The value for counter will get

SharedPreferences sp= context.getSharedPreferences("LOGINSTATUS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

//-------get a value from them

String counter = sp.getString("counter", -1);
