Pass the long and lat by GPS to other activity

Friends i have made a location based application.

i have implemented all the code and when my location is changed it calls onLocationChanged method of LocationListener Interface.

I have also used onUpdateLocation() method to get location updates and now i want to pass the lat and long to the activity. How can i do that ??

UPDATED

I know to use Intent . But where should i call the Intent?

I can not call it in onLocationChanged Mthod/

Please Guide

Using Broadcast is much better way, because location info and activities needs to be loosely coupled and passing such data async is safer.

Another solution is to create broadcast receiver inside of the activity. The LocationListener broadcasts a message each time a location is updated. Inside of this message you can put lat and lon values.

Using this way you can update the values dynamically.

I use the Intent.

Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(YourActivity.this, YourDestinationActivity.class);
intent.putDoubleExtra("com.example.lat", yourLatValue);
intent.putDoubleExtra("com.example.long", yourLongValue);
startActivity(intent);

Then use 

Double d = getIntent().getDoubleExtra("com.example.lat", -1);

in YourDestinationActivity
