Getting intent from MainActivity to BlogWebView, getData() method not recognised

Stage 5 Using Intents to Display and Share Posts:

When updating WebView with data from MainActivity using:

Intent intent = getIntent(); Uri blogUri = getData();

    WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
    webView.loadUrl(blogUri.toString());

I am not able to get the Intent from MainActivity so Uri Object does not receive data and GetData method not recognised.

I am unsure about how to proceed.

SOLVED: I forwent declaring getting the Intent explicitly and just created Uri object and used getIntent() method to get data directly like:

Uri blogUri = getIntent().getData();
