Passing a Bundle on startActivity()?

You can use the Bundle from the Intent:

Bundle extras = myIntent.getExtras();
extras.put*(info);

Or an entire bundle:

myIntent.putExtras(myBundle);

Is this what you're looking for?


Passing data from one Activity to Activity in android

An intent contains the action and optionally additional data. The data can be passed to other activity using intent putExtra() method. Data is passed as extras and are key/value pairs. The key is always a String. As value you can use the primitive data types int, float, chars, etc. We can also pass Parceable and Serializable objects from one activity to other.

Intent intent = new Intent(context, YourActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(KEY, <your value here>);
startActivity(intent);

Retrieving bundle data from android activity

You can retrieve the information using getData() methods on the Intent object. The Intent object can be retrieved via the getIntent() method.

 Intent intent = getIntent();
  if (null != intent) { //Null Checking
    String StrData= intent.getStringExtra(KEY);
    int NoOfData = intent.getIntExtra(KEY, defaultValue);
    boolean booleanData = intent.getBooleanExtra(KEY, defaultValue);
    char charData = intent.getCharExtra(KEY, defaultValue); 
  }

You have a few options:

1) Use the Bundle from the Intent:

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle extras = mIntent.getExtras();
extras.putString(key, value);  

2) Create a new Bundle

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle mBundle = new Bundle();
mBundle.putString(key, value);
mIntent.putExtras(mBundle);

3) Use the putExtra() shortcut method of the Intent

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
mIntent.putExtra(key, value);


Then, in the launched Activity, you would read them via:

String value = getIntent().getExtras().getString(key)

NOTE: Bundles have "get" and "put" methods for all the primitive types, Parcelables, and Serializables. I just used Strings for demonstrational purposes.
