How to send text from one Activity to another Activity?

calculated.java: (this has to command to show the calculated.xml layout)

public class Calculated extends Activity {


   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.calculated);

   }
}

older:

main class: 

 package com.barth.appie;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.EditText;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {


Button button1;
String text;


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

public void addListenerOnButton() {

    button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttoncalculate);
    button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View view) {

        EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        String text = editText.getText().toString();

             Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(),    Calculated.class);
             startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);

        }
    });
}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}



}

calculated.xml: (this is what it has to show after the button press)

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="42dp"
    android:text="@string/text"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

</RelativeLayout>

Furthermore I have <string name="text">Value</string> at strings.xml, and in the other class called calculated.class, I have it so that it outputs the calculated.xml ( which works fine)

What I want: I want to display text in calculated.xml, which is a string made in main.class, and i want the string to be the text filled in textfield called "editText1"

To send the data from one activity to another activity

MainActivity.java is first activity from where you want to send data to another activity.

Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Calculated.class);
myIntent.putExtra("text", text);
startActivity(myIntent);

Calculated.java is second activity which receive the intent data whatever you pass from MainActivity.java

String text = myIntent.getStringExtra("text");
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
textView.setText(text);
