Android Studio – Android Studio: How do I get user input (From Spinner and Edit Text) from activity to another activity?

I am trying to get user input (from both Edit Text and Spinner) from RegisterActivity.Java into ListActivity.Java. The following code below is from RegisterActivity.Java. I only know how to launch the button to a new activity, but I do not know the correct way without error to get user data input from one activity to another.

    As per my understanding, You are trying to get selected data from the spinner and send it to another activity.

    You have to add setOnItemSelectedListener for all the spinners and store selected values in a variable then you can send those values to another activity by passing those in intent. But you have to validate the values before sending those to another activity.

    Let me know still you have any confusion…

    First retrieve your inputs (i.e) age, height, weight and so on, and store them in string for each input.

    Then pass them on in the intent by using putExtra() method.

    In RegisterActivity.java

    Intent d = new Intent(RegisterActivity.this, ListsActivity.class);
d.putExtra("AGE", age);
d.putExtra("WEIGHT", weight);
d.putExtra("HEIGHT", height);
.
.
.
startActivity(d);

    now you can get those values in ListActivity.java in the onCreate method

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

        String age = getIntent().getStringExtra("AGE");
        String weight = getIntent().getStringExtra("WEIGHT");
        String height = getIntent().getStringExtra("HEIGHT");
        .
        .
        .

    }

    Hope this helps!!!
