Result null in "getStringExtra"

Question

I am working on this code, and get an error, the variable "textoviejo" is returned as null, I would like to know what is wrong here. Thank you

Activity 1

EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input); 
startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, Activity2.class), REQUEST_CODE_SEND);
Intent i = new Intent(this, EmoticonActivity.class);   
i.putExtra("textoviejo", input.getText().toString()); 

Activity 2

 Intent intent = new Intent();


    String mensaje = intent.getStringExtra("textoviejo");
    String emoticon = mensaje + ":)";
    intent.putExtra(Extra.EMOTICON, emoticon);
    setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
    finish();

Result in EditText = null

Answer 1

is EmoticonActivity.class is your activity2 ? if yes then

you are doing it wrong, do it like this

Activity 1

EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input); 
Intent i = new Intent(this, EmoticonActivity.class);   
i.putExtra("textoviejo", input.getText().toString()); 
startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_CODE_SEND);
