It is very useful to have an app that is able to access different Activities and pass values (Intent) that can be used by the new Activity.






In file /MainActivity.java import the intent class.

import android.content.Intent;

Now paste the following code inside MainActivity class

Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext(), NewActivity.class);

NewActivity: This is the name of the class of the activity you wish to load on your app.

Now use PushExtra to pass values into the NewActivity.

i.putExtra("title", "Any Text");
i.putExtra("image", R.drawable.harzard_sign);

looking above, line_1 shows how to pass a String valuable, and line_2 show how to pass
a drawable.

Once you done, you may start new activity.

startActivity(i);

Now lets access your /New_Activity.java file, first import the intent class

import android.content.Intent;

Now use the below code to access the values you just pass.

//get valuables

Intent intent = getIntent();
String menu_title = intent.getExtras().getString("title_text");
int menu_icon = intent.getExtras().getInt("image_view");

I hope this helps you will your android development journey.
