Why I'm getting a null string through Intent even after passing the value?

MainActivity

    private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding=ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)

        binding.btnFirst.setOnClickListener {
            val name=binding.etName.text.toString()
            Intent(this,SecondActivity::class.java).also{
                it.putExtra("EXTRA_NAME",name)
                startActivity(it)
            }
        }
    }
}```

SecondActivity

```class SecondActivity:AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var binding: ActivitySecondBinding
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding= ActivitySecondBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)

        val name=intent.getStringArrayExtra("EXTRA_NAME")
        val toPrint="$name hahahaha"

        binding.tvNameIntent.text=toPrint

    }
}

toPrint is getting "null hahahaha"

Can someone please rectify my error

CodePudding user response：

You are putting in a String so you should be also reading a String and not StringArray. You can use e.g. getStringExtra() for that.

val name=intent.getStringArrayExtra("EXTRA_NAME") should be changed to val name=intent.getStringExtra("EXTRA_NAME")
