how can i receive intent on 2 activities?

Question

I want to receive intent on the two activity classes, but not sure how since startActivity can only start one intent to only one activity class

private void populateListView()
{
    Log.d(TAG, "Populating listview");
    Cursor data = dbManager.getTitle();
    final ArrayList<String> listTitle = new ArrayList<>();
    while (data.moveToNext())
    {
        listTitle.add(data.getString(1));
    }
    final ListAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listTitle);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id)
        {
            String name = adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

            Cursor data = dbManager.getTitleID(name);

            int titleID = -1;
            while (data.moveToNext())
            {
                titleID = data.getInt(0);
            }
            if (titleID > -1)
            {
                Intent intent= new Intent(List_Title_Activity.this, MainActivity.class);
                //Intent intent2= new Intent(List_Title_Activity.this, ViewListContents.class);
                intent.putExtra("id", titleID);
                intent.putExtra("title", name);
                startActivity(edit);
            }
            else
            {
                Toast.makeText(List_Title_Activity.this, "No id associated with that name", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }
    });

MainActivity and ViewListContent:

Intent receiveIntent = getIntent();
selectedID = receiveIntent.getIntExtra("id",-1);

I don't think there is a predefined way of doing this thing. You can do this by some workaround but this must be not a good practice and make an app error-prone. You can post the feature you are trying to build and there must another way to produce it. — Akshay Nandwana, Mar 20 '20 at 07:50

1 Activity is 1 page in android. That is, you can call/view 1 page/Activity at a time. If you want to share same data to multiple pages in use shared preference / Database. Or if you are using 1 activity and multiple fragments in it, use interface.

if you want to send data from one activity to 2nd activity you can use simple intent and pass data from first activity to second . But if you want to send the data first activity to second and get data from second activity to first activity i suggest you to use startActivityForResult. for more see here
