How to pass data in one activity to another activity?

Question

I am trying to make a small project for a shopping system in a supermarket. How can I display my result in another activity? Note that my result is displayed in a Toast in the same activity.

Here is my code:

public void showResult(View v) {
    String result = "Selected Product are :";
    int totalAmount = 0;
    for (Product p : boxAdapter.getBox()) {
        if (p.box) {
            result += "\n" + p.name;
            totalAmount += p.price;

        }
    }
    Toast.makeText(this, result + "\n" + "Total Amount:=" + totalAmount,
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

The toast msg here shows the result.

I want to display the result in a textView for example in another activity.

In that purpose you have to pass data from one activity to another activity through android Intent. You can pass data one activity to another activity like this code

Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class);
        intent.putExtra("TOTAL_AMOUNT", totalAmount );
        startActivity(intent);

Now you can get the result in ActivityB like this way

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
String totalAmount= bundle.getString("TOTAL_AMOUNT");

After getting the totalAmount, you can set it in your TextView. Hope it solve your problem.

Just to add a little something to the answer by @AndroidCodeHunter, Just like with any variable in programming, it is always wise to name your intents with something anyone reading your code can understand.In this case, you can say `Intent showResultIntent = new Intent(this, ActivityB.class);` – Ojonugwa Jude Ochalifu Dec 21 '13 at 15:59
