I got an imageView in First activity and I want to pass over the string to the 2nd activity in order to display the same image.

I got this code in first activity:

ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);    
String sharePre = imageView.getDrawable().toString();

As a result, I got String sharePre = android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable@42a74470

Problem: How can I convert the String back to Drawable in 2nd activity, in other word, I want to use

ImageView imageView2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2); imageView2.setImageDrawable(sharePre.toDrawrable);

How are you setting the image for `imageView` in the first Activity? – Mike M. Apr 13 '14 at 16:42
I would rather convert URI of the image to string and send it another activity, where another activity gets image from URI – Dushyant Patel Apr 13 '14 at 16:52
