Two EXTRA_MESSAGE from Intent

Can i have two extra messages on Intent that i can pass on another Activity? If yes, how does it work?

this is what I did:

Intent intent3 = new Intent(this, Start.class);
String message = o.getName();
String messages = o.getPath();
intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);   
intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, messages);  
startActivity(intent3);`

and on the Activity that will receive the message:

Intent intent3 = getIntent();
String message = intent3.getStringExtra(Browse.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
String messages = intent3.getStringExtra(Browse.EXTRA_MESSAGE);`

Two different keys and messages will do it 

  Intent intent3 = new Intent(this, Start.class);
    String message = o.getName();
    String messages = o.getPath();
    intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE1, message);   
    intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE2, messages); 
    startActivity(intent3);

This is a problem the way you have them. You need separate keys for each value. So for example

intent3.putExtra("msg1", message);   
intent3.putExtra("msg2", messages);

then in your receiving Activity you can get them using the above keys. But you can add as many Extra values as you want.

Not exactly like that, but it is easy to send multiple values. The first parameter to putExtra or getStringExtra is a key into a map of values so it must be unique. As long as you use a different key for each value you can put as many as you want in the intent.

For example:

Intent intent3 = new Intent(this, Start.class);
String message = o.getName();
String messages = o.getPath();
intent3.putExtra("name", message);   
intent3.putExtra("path", messages);  
startActivity(intent3);

Intent intent3 = getIntent();
String message = intent3.getStringExtra("name");
String messages = intent3.getStringExtra("path");`

You have to change the KEY:

Intent intent3 = new Intent(this, Start.class);
String message = o.getName();
String messages = o.getPath();
intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);   
intent3.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE_TWO, messages); 
startActivity(intent3);
