You can use Intent to send the data from the first Activity to another one like this:

In the first activity

Step 1 Add this code on button click:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("value", oneValue);
startActivity(intent);

In the second activity

Step 2 Create a variable:

String anotherValue;

Step 3 Init this variable:

anotherValue = getIntent().getStringExtras("value");

Now the value from your first activity is stored in the variable `anotherValue and you can use it in any method of the second activity.

This is actually quite simple to do, but as a new programmer, I can understand that it can be challenging at times. Here is what I would do.

Lets say your button function is called "passData()" and your getting these values from the user from the first screen and storing them in valOne and valTwo.

do this:

public void passData(View view) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity2.class);
    intent.putExtra("valueOne", valOne);
    intent.putExtra("valueTwo", valTwo);
    startActivity(intent);
}

in your second activity, do this:

        //Get the text view
        TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

        //Get the values from previous screen
        getValOne = getIntent().getStringExtra("valueOne");
        getValTwo = getIntent().getStringExtra("valueTwo");

        //Convert to int to use in function
        int intValOne = Integer.parseInt(getValOne);
        int intValTwo = Integer.parseInt(getValTwo);

        //Insert in your function
        int x = intValOne + intValTwo;
        result.setText(x);

*** getValOne and getValTwo have been declared globally. ***

Here is the easiest way to pass data from one activity (MainActivity) to another activity (SecondActivity):

MainActivity

String yourData = "My Data";

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_DATA", yourData);
startActivity(intent);

then in SecondActivity you should set this to take the data
SecondActivity

String myData = getIntent().getStringExtra("EXTRA_DATA");

Another Example If you have 2 data you can try this

String name = "Sangkuni";
String gender = "Male";

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_DATA_NAME", name);
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_DATA_GENDER", gender);
startActivity(intent);

then in SecondActivity

String name = getIntent().getStringExtra("EXTRA_DATA_NAME");
String gender = getIntent().getStringExtra("EXTRA_DATA_GENDER");

I hope my answer will help you
