Android App, checkbox search engine

Question

I am creating an app in Android Studio and I am fairly new to java programming. The main idea is that in the main activity of my project I will have a list of different options, with check-boxes next to them.

A user has to click on check-boxes which interest him and then press the button on the bottom "Search". After that a new activity will show and for example if the user picked "Option A" and "Option D" then in the new activity two images will show which I will assign to these two activities.

I am can't figure out a way to actually show these images as a result of the checkboxes selected by the user.

Can someone give me a tip on how it may be possible to do?

You should start learning Java ASAP (also Android basics). I'd recommend learning it, before developing even simplest app.

You can store options in a list. First declare list:

List<String> optionList = new ArrayList<>();

Then, as user checks checkboxes you can add options:

optionList.add("Option A");
// Or whatever the option is

When you start new activity, you can put&send some data:

void openNewActivity() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("options", optionList);
    startActivity(intent);
}

From within NewActivity's OnCreate method, you can get data:

List<String> options = getIntent().getSerializableExtra("options");

Voila!

Good luck!
