Java extras bundle is returning null values

My bundle is returning null strings for the contained extras. Not NPEs, actual "null" values. Any ideas on why this would be happening?

new bundle

                        String u = null;
                        Bundle b = new Bundle();
                        Intent i = new Intent(view.getContext(), ******.class);
                        u = api.companyData.link.get(position);
                        Log.d("URL++++++++++++++++++++", u);
                        b.putString("graphic", api.companyData.graphic);
                        b.putString("name", api.companyData.name);
                        b.putString("url", u);
                        i.putExtras(b); 
                        startActivity(i);

The log statement is returning the url fine.

Receiver of bundle

   Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if(extras !=null) {
         Log.d("EXTRAS", extras.getString("name")+extras.getString("graphic")+extras.getString("link"));

D/EXTRAS ( 4698): nullnullnull

put the objects in the intent directly, e.g.

Intent i = new Intent(view.getContext(), ******.class);
i.putExtra("graphic", ...);
i.putExtra("name", ...);
i.putExtra("url", ....);

Then in the receiver activity:

getIntent().getStringExtra("graphic");
getIntent().getStringExtra("name");
getIntent().getStringExtra("url");

I always do it this way:

Intent i = new Intent(view.getContext(), ******.class);
i.putExtra("url", u);

and then

String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("url");

I've never tried it your way, but if you look at the Android docs for putExtras(Bundle), it says:

Add a set of extended data to the intent. The keys must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".

That you're not doing that may be the reason for the failure.
