Using Intent.putextra

String sRow = SignIn.getRow(email);             
Intent intent = new Intent(SignIn.this,HomePage.class);
                intent.putExtra("rowID", sRow);
                startActivity(intent);

This code is in my SignIn activity and I want to pass the String value sRow to the HomePage class.

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    String rowID = extras.getString("rowID");

from my HomePage class, I use this to call the value of sRow and assign it to rowID. Am I doing it correctly? Because I received and error which calling to HomePage.class;

While obtaining the rowID in HomePage class , do as follows :

Intent intent = getIntent();
String rowID = intent.getStringExtra("rowID");

Hope this would work absolutely fine.

Also do check the manifest to confirm whether HomePage.class has been registered.

You did a very small mistake.

you put string extra to intent directly not in bundle. And while you retrieving you use Bundle.

So simply write this way.

String rowID = getIntent().getStringExtra("rowID");

Try this help you

HomePage class:

Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String rowID = extras.getString("rowID");
