Hi guys, i have a question about saving information like username and password in android, so that i can register date of birth and phonenumber later. I want to make a request to the php server with al information in that request. Do you guys know how you can save information like username and password before i go to another activity to save birth an phonenumber and make the final request to sign up? I know that in php the term of saving this information is Session.

Thanks in Advance!

Hello , you can put the username and password as an extra in the intent that start the new activity

Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("user","username");
intent.putExtra("pass","1234");
startActivity(intent); 

Then you can retrieve both values in the OnCreate() of the NewActivity

String user= getIntent().getStringExtra("user");
String password = getIntent().getStringExtra("pass");

Thank you very much!
