How to start an Intent by passing some parameters to it?

by

In order to pass the parameters you create new intent and put a parameter map:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, NewActivityClassName.class);
myIntent.putExtra("firstKeyName","FirstKeyValue");
myIntent.putExtra("secondKeyName","SecondKeyValue");
startActivity(myIntent);

In order to get the parameters values inside the started activity, you must call the get[type]Extra() on the same intent:

// getIntent() is a method from the started activity
Intent myIntent = getIntent(); // gets the previously created intent
String firstKeyName = myIntent.getStringExtra("firstKeyName"); // will return "FirstKeyValue"
String secondKeyName= myIntent.getStringExtra("secondKeyName"); // will return "SecondKeyValue"

If your parameters are ints you would use getIntExtra() instead etc.
Now you can use your parameters like you normally would.
