How do I send String data after collecting it from sqlite to another activity

Question

I have sqlite database I succeeded to get all data from it and I stored it in String data and then displayed it using another java class which just has Toast.

Now I am trying to send this data to another activity.

this is the data that I receive from the data base by click on button which has this method

    public void viewDetails(View view){

String data= mDbHelper.getALLData();
Message.message(this,data);

}

also I display data by using Toast from another class is called Message , and viewDetails methods takes data from getALLData mehotd in the

NotesDbAdapter.java:

  public String getALLData(){
    mDb = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    String[] columns={KEY_ROWID ,KEY_TITLE,KEY_BODY};
    Cursor cursor = mDb.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, null, null, null, null, null);
    StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer();
    while (cursor.moveToNext()){
        int cid=cursor.getInt(0);
    String title=cursor.getString(1);   
    String body=cursor.getString(2);
    buffer.append(cid+" "+title+" "+body+"
");
    }
    return buffer.toString();

I tried to use intent but it did not work

this is NotesDbAdapter.java:

public class NotesDbAdapter {
    public static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
    public static final String KEY_DATE = "date";
    public static final String KEY_BODY = "body";
    public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";

    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE =
        "create table notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement, "
        + "title text not null, body text not null, date text not null);";

    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "data";
    private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "notes";
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 2;

    private final Context mCtx;

    private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

        DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
            super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
        }

        @Override
        public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

            db.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
        }

        @Override
        public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
            Log.w(TAG, "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "
                    + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
            db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS notes");
            onCreate(db);
        }
    }

    /**

     */

    public void close() {

    }

    }
    public String getALLData(){
        mDb = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
        String[] columns={KEY_ROWID ,KEY_TITLE,KEY_BODY};

        StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer();
        while (cursor.moveToNext()){
            int cid=cursor.getInt(0);
        String title=cursor.getString(1);   
        String body=cursor.getString(2);
        buffer.append(cid+" "+title+" "+body+"
");
        }
        return buffer.toString();
    }}

this The NoteEdit activity where I store data, also this activity has the button that perfomrs collecting data and dispalying it

The NoteEdit activity where I store data:

this is Message that has the Toast

public class Message {
	public static void message(Context context,String message){
		
		Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
	}

}

what exactly I want to do is to send this data after colecting it in viewDetails method and sotring it in String data to another activity so I can perform other things on it instead of just display it with Toast

i hope you understand my quotations now

Just use an Intent to pass your data to say, DestinationActivity

void viewDetails(View view){
    String data = mDbHelper.getALLData();

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DestinationActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, data);

    startActivity(intent);
}

Now, in your DestinationActivity, retrieve your data as

String data = getIntent().getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT);
