Set ImageView Resource and TextView Text from Another Activity

Question

I have a list view in an activity and when a row is selected I want to show another activity that contains an ImageView and a TextView. How can I set the image and text from the first activity? I'm guessing for the text I can use an extra with the intent.

you can use the intent also to provide the resource id of the pic you want to show — Blackbelt, Aug 22 '14 at 11:36
you can pass the id of the resource(image) also as an extra in that intent. — Sagar D, Aug 22 '14 at 11:37

intent.putExtra("data", bitmap)
intent.putExtra("your_string", strName);

You can recieve bitmap from another activity like this

Intent intent = getIntent();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("data");

It costs a lot of memory and is also slow.

If you want to pass it inbetween activities, you can store it in a file. That's more efficient.

There are multiple ways to sending data between Activities

you can send image intent.putExtra("data", bitmap) and recieve it as @deniz suggested
you can use Serializable to send data
you can create Parcelable and send it to next Activity
create a static Bitmap and get it in another Activity but it is not a good approach and against OOP
