Android : Can't put a string through an intent from a fragment to an activity

Question

I'm new in android development and I have an issue with simple string in an intent. I create an Intent in a fragment to launch a new activity. I have no error but I can't put a string through the intent. Here is my code :

public class AboutFragment extends Fragment {

     private static Context mContext;

I have this in the onCreateView method :

     mContext = this.getContext();

This method in the same class

public static void openModalPolicy() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, ModalActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("section", "policy");
    mContext.startActivity(intent);
}

And in my new activity :

        String section = this.getIntent().getStringExtra("section");

So the problem is that section is never equal to "policy" If someone can help me :) Have a good day !

`the problem is that section is never equal to "policy"` what is it's value then? or how do u check for it's value? — Atef Hares, Mar 23 '17 at 21:44
Show the whole function and classes where each piece of code was taken from. — JonZarate, Mar 23 '17 at 21:46
Just to be sure, you are using `section.equals("policy")` for your equality check. Not `section == "policy"`. Right? — Distwo, Mar 23 '17 at 21:56
I forgot that we have to use .equal() in java. I'm an idiot thank you ^^ — Loïc Combis, Mar 23 '17 at 22:03
