so basically you want to pass the string from GoogleActivity to UserInformation activity right?? — himanshu1496, May 30 '16 at 13:09
@Firdoesh Khan pass your name through intent.putExtra("name","xyz") and get it in desired activity — Nisarg, May 30 '16 at 13:11

You can get the user iformation from Google API using the following code. Or for more details you can refer : https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/people#before_you_begin

GoogleSignInResult result = Auth.GoogleSignInApi.getSignInResultFromIntent(data);
GoogleSignInAccount acct = result.getSignInAccount();
String personName = acct.getDisplayName();
String personEmail = acct.getEmail();
String personId = acct.getId();
Uri personPhoto = acct.getPhotoUrl();

Now, the user's name is in the variable personName. After successful login, the application will not enters in login page so its better to save the user information in SharedPreference.Create a class AppUtils.java

public class AppUtils {

private final static String SHARED_PREFS="AppUtils";
private SharedPreferences prefs;
private SharedPreferences.Editor edit;

public AppUtils(Context context) {
    prefs = context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}

public void setUserName(String name) {

    edit = prefs.edit();
    edit.putString("name", name);
    edit.commit();
}

public String getUserName() {
    return prefs.getString("name", "");
}

}

So in your GoogleActivity.java class after fetching the username set it to a shared preference object by calling the function setUserName().

AppUtils utils=new AppUtils(UserInformation.this);
utils.setUserName(personName);

And whenever you wants call the function getUserName(). In your case :

AppUtils utils=new AppUtils(UserInformation.this);

editTextUsername = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextName);
editTextEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextEmail);

editTextUsername.setText(utils.getUserName());

It is the context of that activity. Context is context of current state of the application/object. It provides services like resolving resources, obtaining access to databases and preferences, and so on. An android app has activities. It’s like a handle to the environment your application is currently running in. The activity object inherits the Context object.
