Android putExtra cannot resolve symbol

Question

I'm trying to transfer a string from one activity to another in android. I'm working off of this answer: How to use putExtra() and getExtra() for string data

However, I think I'm doing something really basic incorrectly. When I type "i.putExtra" I get the error "cannot resolve putExtra." Do I need to import something to use putExtra?

In the documentation for putExtra it seems that I should be able to use it as long as I've imported android.content.Intent, which I have.

You surely are missing something basic. Could you post your code or a print screen? It is probably a matter of mistyping something — rafaelc, Apr 21 '15 at 00:21
Can you please post the relevant code sniplet which you have there? — Shobhit Puri, Apr 21 '15 at 00:27
You're right. I didn't put the code in the onCreate method, just in the activity. Thanks anyway! — Tara, Apr 21 '15 at 00:28

You have to put the code into the OnCreate() statement.
