Getting extras from an intent in Android

Question

I have an issue that is driving me crazy, I want to get "n" string values from a bundle, somehow avd crashes when I click on "send button".

Activity 1

public void enviar(View view){
    Intent intento=new Intent(this, Segunda.class);

    Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
    String usuarioS=editText.getText().toString();
    editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usuarioID);        
    bundle.putString("usuario", usuarioS);
    intento.putExtras(bundle);



    startActivity(intento);
}

Activity 2

public class Segunda extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_segunda);      


    String message,message1;

        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();

            message1 = extras.getString("usuario"); 
            TextView textView1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.usuariofID);       
            textView1.setText(message1);



}

That's my code. Where am I messing up?

Why do you have `editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usuarioID);`? Do you want to read the String from `editText` or `editText1`? And you are using the same id in different layouts, is this intentional? — Sam, Jan 22 '13 at 19:42
if look closely, there are to different ID´s, first one belongs to an editext where i put some string value, second one belongs to a textView where i show the string i wrote before — viterete8, Jan 22 '13 at 19:51
Also, a good habit is to name the variables, classes and methods in English. Just a thought. — Tobias Moe Thorstensen, Jan 22 '13 at 19:54

it seems as though you are using the EditText field prior to establishing it. can you try...

from:

public void enviar(View view){
   ...
   String usuarioS=editText.getText().toString();
   editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usuarioID);
   ...
}

to:

public void enviar(View view){
   ...
   editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usuarioID);
   String usuarioS=editText.getText().toString();
   ...
}

First off, I would suggest getting rid of the code that isn't needed. You can use Intent.putExtra() rather than making a bundle and putting the bundle in the Intent. Minimizing code can help debug your problem and sometimes even solve it.

And I agree with David M on initializing your EditText before using it.

public void enviar(View view){
    Intent intento=new Intent(this, Segunda.class);

    editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usuarioID);
    String usuarioS=editText.getText().toString();
    intento.putExtra("usuario", usuarios);

    startActivity(intento);
}
