How To Pass Simple Intent from one Android Activity to another Activity

1. Here we have written my second tutorial about passing intent from one activity to another activity and also pass data to second screen by using intent.putExtra method.
2. Intent.putExtra method accept many kind of data like String,int,float,...etc.
3. Using intent we can pass control to another Activity.Bundle can be used to pass data from one Activity to another Activity.
4. Below we have written code about login activity to pass username to next Android Activity.

             android:layout_marginTop="10px">  
        </Button>  
   </LinearLayout>  
     
  

• MainActivity.java

   package com.idroid.passingintent;  
     
   import android.app.Activity;  
   import android.content.Intent;  
   import android.os.Bundle;  
   import android.view.View;  
   import android.view.View.OnClickListener;  
   import android.widget.Button;  
   import android.widget.EditText;  
   import android.widget.Toast;  
     
   public class Prog2Activity extends Activity {  
     /** Called when the activity is first created. */  
     @Override  
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
       setContentView(R.layout.main);  
         
       Toast.makeText(this,"Enter username and password : user",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
       Button login = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);  
       final EditText etuname=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);  
       final EditText etpwd=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);  
             final String uname="user";

             final Intent intent=new Intent(this,NextScreen.class);  
             login.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()   
             {  
            @Override  
            public void onClick(View arg0)   
            {  
                 //TODO Auto-generated method stub  
                 if((uname.equals(etuname.getText().toString())) && (pwd.equals(etpwd.getText().toString())))  
                 {    
                      intent.putExtra("uname", uname);  
                      startActivity(intent);

   import android.app.Activity;  
   import android.os.Bundle;  
   import android.text.Html;  
   import android.view.Gravity;  
   import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;  
   import android.widget.TextView;  
   import android.content.Intent;  
   import android.graphics.Color;  
     
   public class NextScreen extends Activity   
   {  
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)   
        {

       TextView tv=new TextView(this);  
       tv.setPadding(20, 20, 10, 10);  
       tv.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(00, 66, 99));  
       tv.setTextColor(Color.rgb(255, 255, 255));  
       tv.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));  
       tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL|Gravity.CENTER);
