get value from SharedPreferences in second activity, if is it defaultValue, get it from intent that received from first activity. what's the problem? — mohamad jalali, Jun 01 '20 at 07:43
There are multiple ways, you can create your data holder class. and reference it from different activities for shared data. have a look here for multiple ways https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4878159/whats-the-best-way-to-share-data-between-activities — Umais Gillani, Jun 01 '20 at 11:17
Intent used in shared preference is not taking value from activity1 .Its directly jumping to activity 2 — simar, Jun 01 '20 at 20:01

When starting a new activity you can send data through intent.

Intent intent = new Intent( this, Activity2.class );
intent.putExtra( "key", "value" );
startActivity(intent)

And in second activity do like this:

getIntent().getStringExtra( "key" );

or if you are sending int for example

getIntent().getIntExtra( "key", 0 );
