struggling with the intent passing data

Question

I've been searching for a method that passes the data from one activity to another. I found several ways to do so. Even here i found many people asking this question! I tried to solve this problem as I found here and in many other websites (using the intent). But it is no use! this is really weird because the intent method works with everyone else but when I try, it doesn't work at all really I don't know what is wrong with my code!!! I just want to pass the username and the birthday from Register activity to Profiles activity, here is what I've tried so far:

private TextInputLayout textInputLayoutName;
private TextInputLayout textInputLayoutEmail;
private TextInputLayout textInputLayoutBirthday;

private TextInputEditText textInputEditTextName;
private TextInputEditText textInputEditTextEmail;
private TextInputEditText textInputEditTextBirthday;

if (!databaseHelper.checkUser(textInputEditTextEmail.getText().toString().trim())) {

        user.setName(textInputEditTextName.getText().toString().trim());
        user.setEmail(textInputEditTextEmail.getText().toString().trim());
        user.setPassword(textInputEditTextPassword.getText().toString().trim());

        databaseHelper.addUser(user);

        Snackbar.make(nestedScrollView, getString(R.string.success_message), Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        emptyInputEditText();

        Intent intent = new Intent(RegisterActivity.this, ProfilesActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("username", textInputEditTextName.getText().toString());
        intent.putExtra("birthday", textInputEditTextBirthday.getText().toString());
        startActivity(intent);

and here is how I get them from the Profiles activities in the OnCreate method:

        private TextView theName;
 private TextView theBirthday;
    theName= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.theName);
            theBirthday=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.theBirthday);
            Intent intent = getIntent();
            String username = intent.getStringExtra("username");
            String birthday = intent.getStringExtra("birthday");
            theName.setText(username);
            theBirthday.setText(birthday);

It shows me nothing in the Profiles activity! I don't now what is the wrong here! please help if you know where my issue is !

for editor: I found so many similar questions but my problem is different

If this method

emptyInputEditText()

does what it says, that's why you're not getting (in fact sending) any data to your ProfilesActivity.
