Multiple Intents in a Single Activity

Having issues with sending multiple pieces of data (in this case, three arrays(two int, one string)) over to a second activity page.

I am unsure of how this is done. What I would like to know is how to send these arrays in one Start Activity method, if that is possible. My current code is:

public void onClickGoToTeamSummary(View view)
{
    Intent intentTeamNames = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
    Intent intentTeamPoints = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);
    Intent intentTeamGoals = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);

    intentTeamNames.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
    intentTeamPoints.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
    intentTeamGoals.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);

    startActivity(intentTeamPoints);
    startActivity(intentTeamNames);
    startActivity(intentTeamGoals);
}

I had tried:

startActivity(intentTeamPoints, intentTeamNames, intentTeamGoals);

to no avail. To help, my getIntent in the next activity looks like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);

    Intent intentClubNames = getIntent();
    String[] club_names = intentClubNames.getStringArrayExtra("footballClubs");

    Intent intentClubPoints = getIntent();
    int[] team_points = intentClubPoints.getIntArrayExtra("clubPoints");

    Intent intentTeamGoals = getIntent();
    int[] club_goals = intentTeamGoals.getIntArrayExtra("clubGoals");
}

The code itself works provided only one startActivity is used. I would like to know how to pass all my arrays into the second activity page through one activity if anyone can help me.

You don't use multiple Intents but multiple extras.

// create your Intent as normal
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);

// then you can add multiple extras
myIntent.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
myIntent.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
myIntent.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);
startActivity(myIntent);

Then receiving them would be the same. You would just receive the one Intent and use the key as normal for each extra Array.

Try this..

You can send all values in single Intent 

public void onClickGoToTeamSummary(View view)
{
    Intent intentTeamNames = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ResultsActivity.class);

    intentTeamNames.putExtra("footballClubs", myTeams);
    intentTeamNames.putExtra("clubPoints", pointsAttained);
    intentTeamNames.putExtra("clubGoals", goalsScored);

    startActivity(intentTeamNames);
}

and

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_results);

    Intent intentClubNames = getIntent();
    String[] club_names = intentClubNames.getStringArrayExtra("footballClubs");
    int[] team_points = intentClubNames.getIntArrayExtra("clubPoints");
    int[] club_goals = intentClubNames.getIntArrayExtra("clubGoals");
}
