Android pass extras to extended class

Question

As the title says, I want to know if it is possible to pass extras to an extended class.

Imagine this situation:

public class MyClass extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle sis) {
        super.onCreate(sis);
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        ....
    }
}

public class MyMainClass extends MyClass{

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //Here I would like to pass some extras to MyClass

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ...
    }
}

Is it somehow possible to pass extras to MyClass

When you call the Intent for starting that activity you can pass those extras. — lucianohgo, Mar 25 '15 at 13:56
Sorry but fixed the code. `MyMainClass` extends `MyClass` and not `Activity`. Want to pass extras from `MyMainClass` to my extended `MyClass` — Favolas, Mar 25 '15 at 14:03
Hope it will work because the Most parent class extends Activity..Better you can do that by this method http://stackoverflow.com/a/29257787/4693713. And you can get the solution.. — Avishek Das, Mar 25 '15 at 14:05

Yes, it can be done using

 Intent i = new Intent(MyMainClass.this, MyClass.class);
 i.putExtra("extra", extra);
 startActivity(i);

and you can get that extra back using

 Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
 String extra = extras.getString("extra");
