Passing check box data to another Activity?

The Question is Choose an option from five checkbox selection and show the results in another page for the selected choices.

And I have 2 activity in the apps.

All the coding is done on java file without adding any code in xml file.

MainActivity.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.*;
import android.view.View.*;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        //Q3
                LinearLayout ll3 = new LinearLayout(this);
                ll3.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);


                final List <CheckBox> cbs = new ArrayList<CheckBox>();

                for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
                    CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(this);
                    cb.setText("Apple" + (i + 1));
                    ll3.addView(cbs.get(i));
                }



                Button button3 = new Button(this);
                button3.setText("Select");

                button3.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();

                        for(int i = 0; i < cbs.size(); i++){
                            if(cbs.get(i).isChecked()){
                                str.append(cbs.get(i).getText().toString() + "; ");
                            }
                        }

                        Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,MainActivity2.class);
                        i.putExtra("checked", str.toString());
                        startActivity(i);
                    }
                });

                ll3.addView(button3);
                setContentView(ll3);
    }



}

And for another activity file name MainActivity2.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity2 extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_activity2);

        //Q3
                TextView tv = new TextView(this);
                tv.setText("You have selected:");
                TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
                tv1.setText(this.getIntent().getStringExtra("checked"));

                LinearLayout ll3 = new LinearLayout(this);
                ll3.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
                ll3.addView(tv);
                ll3.addView(tv1);
                setContentView(ll3);
    }


}

When I run the apps it show error message state that cannot be run. Any problem?

You Haven't add your checkboxes to cbs list and you are trying to access the checkbox from it...

try add checkboxes to list by using cbs.add(cb); in your for loop...

try this

final List <CheckBox> cbs = new ArrayList<CheckBox>();

            for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
                CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(this);
                cb.setText("Apple" + (i + 1));
                cbs.add(cb);
                ll3.addView(cbs.get(i));
            }

you can use two ways - use a static variable and give check box value to that variable and access that to another activity - use intent to pass data pass value from 1st activity and recieve in other sample for extra is following activity 1st 

  Intent i = new Intent(FirstScreen.this, SecondScreen.class);   
String keyIdentifer  = null;
i.putExtra("STRING_I_NEED", strName);

activity 2nd 

 String newString;
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
    extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if(extras == null) {
        newString= null;
    } else {
        newString= extras.getString("STRING_I_NEED");
    }
} else {
    newString= (String) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("STRING_I_NEED");
}

use either way its upto you
