How to bypass intent extras in Android?

I want to know if there is a way to pass all the extras to the new intent.

Is it possible? And is it a good idea?

The reason is that I want to save the login state as a json string, and pass it in between Activities. I don't want to store data with SQLite or anything. Can I bypass all the intent extras to the new intent ?

please consider Shared Preference :

  // Declaration
   public static String KEY = "SESSION";

   public static void saveUserName(String username, Context context) {
        Editor editor = context
                .getSharedPreferences(KEY, Activity.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
        editor.putString("username", username);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public static String getUserName(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences savedSession = context.getSharedPreferences(KEY,
                Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return savedSession.getString("username", "");
    }

You can store the login credentials to preference and retrieve them as well in any of your activity. 

SaveUsername("Your text to save", Your_activity.this);

And to retrieve the value 

String mUserName = getUserName(YourActivity.this);

It is recommended to have all your preference methods in your utils class to keep the code organized.

Any of the two may help you.

  1. Saving it in the sharedPreference file.
  2. If you want them to be accessable throught the application you can use the applicationClass, like a global singleton.
