How to pass an Intent extra from the Intent View Android

Question

I'm using a AdapterView for a ListView, the activity where we can find the list view and an EditText.

When we click on one element of the ListView we go to the second activity, and I want to send the data of the selected item as an extra in a intent.This data will then be shown in the EditText

I tried this code, but it doesn't seem to work, it shows always the default value of the EditText.

here is the code of the adapter view :

public class adapterq extends ArrayAdapter<Questionaire> implements OnClickListener {
    Bitmap image;
      EditText name;

    public adapterq(Context context, ArrayList<Questionaire> questionaires) {
       super(context, 0, questionaires);
    }
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
       // Get the data item for this position
       final Questionaire c = getItem(position);    
       // Check if an existing view is being reused, otherwise inflate the view
       if (convertView == null) {
          convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.customquest, parent, false);
       }

     View  convertView2 = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_main, parent, false);


       TextView q = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
 name =     (EditText) convertView2.findViewById(R.id.editText1);


       q.setText(c.getLabel()); 

       convertView.setOnClickListener(this);

       return convertView;
   }
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
          Intent intent = new Intent();

            intent.setClass(getContext(), Questions.class);

        intent.putExtra("name", name.getText().toString());
            getContext().startActivity(intent);  

    }


}

here is the xml code of the main activity :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

update your code as follows:

public class adapterq extends ArrayAdapter<Questionaire> implements OnClickListener {
Bitmap image;
EditText name;

public adapterq(Context context, ArrayList<Questionaire> questionaires, EditText name) {
   super(context, 0, questionaires);
   this.name=name;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
   // Get the data item for this position
   final Questionaire c = getItem(position);    
   // Check if an existing view is being reused, otherwise inflate the view
   if (convertView == null) {
      convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.customquest, parent, false);
   }

 TextView q = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);


   q.setText(c.getLabel()); 

   convertView.setOnClickListener(this);

   return convertView;
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
      Intent intent = new Intent();

        intent.setClass(getContext(), Questions.class);

    intent.putExtra("name", name.getText().toString());
        getContext().startActivity(intent);  

}

}

and pass the instance of name while initializing the arrayAdapter

How to pass an Intent extra from the Intent View Android

Because EditText is inside convertView2 layout but click listener is in convertView do it as:

q.setText(c.getLabel()); 
convertView.setOnClickListener(this);
convertView.setTag(convertView2);

Use v parameter of onClick method to get clicked EditText value:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
          Intent intent = new Intent();
          intent.setClass(getContext(), Questions.class);
          View view=(View)v.getTag();
          EditText edtName=(EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.editText1);
          intent.putExtra("name", edtName.getText().toString());
           getContext().startActivity(intent);  

    }
