Passing data between activities

My main activity contains a EditText and a button. I would like to send whats written in the EditText to the next activity started by pressing the button.

In the first activity I have this:

        Intent i = new Intent(firstActivity.this, secondActivity.class);  
        i.putExtra("myString", theEditText.getText());
        startActivity(i);

So far so good. In the second activity I use this:

  Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras(); 
  myRecivedString = bundle.getString("myString")

But here myRecivedString turns up empty.

Any suggestions?

Just use theEditText.getText().toString();. You are able to get the text written in edittext.

change i.putExtra("myString", theEditText.getText()); to i.putExtra("myString", theEditText.getText().toString());

See getText() method of EditText returns object of Editable class. So if you want to pass the string contained in EditText, you have to use toString().

See the example here :

 thisEditText.getText().toString();

So the code in your first activity should look like :

 Intent i = new Intent(firstActivity.this, secondActivity.class);  
 i.putExtra("myString", theEditText.getText().toString());
 startActivity(i);
