Android : how can i get activity value by using intent?

Question

I want to make loading page between activities.
So, I tried to make new Activity only for loading but there is one problem.
I can't get 'Activity' value by using intent like,

 Intent i = new Intent(activity1.this, activity2.class); 
 i.putExtra("Activity", activity1.this);
 startActivity(i);

However, I can't get this Extra value because there is no 'getActivityExtras()'.
How can I do this..?

Answer 1

// define NAME in Activity 1
public const NAME = "Activity1";       

Intent i = new Intent(activity1.this, activity2.class); 
i.putExtra("Activity", "Activity1.NAME");
startActivity(i);

// in Activity 2
activity = getStringExtra("Activity");

switch(activity) {
 case Activity1.NAME:
 // do whatever you want here
 break;

}
