Question

In the blog reader app Android, how do I pass the value of the blog title and the value of the author to another activity. I just want to display the blog title and author name in another activity without using webview. How can I achieve  this? thanks

For simple objects like Strings an easy way to do it is to pass it in with the intent. For example with the title, you could pass it along like this:
```Java
//...
Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourOtherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("blogTitleKey", blogTitle);
startActivity(intent);
//...
```
And then retrieve it using the same key in the new activity:
```Java
//...
Intent intent = getIntent();
String title = intent.getStringExtra("blogTitleKey");
//...
```
Hope that helps.
