I am facing a problem of setting the text to `TextView` in android my code is :

```
public class Main extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        final TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        final String string = input.getText();
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                text.setText(string);                   
            }
        });
    }
}

```

if I write 

```
    final Editable string = input.getText();

```

then it works.....!!!!

Now I want to send data of `EditText` to next `Activity` like this :

```
public class Main extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        final TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        final Editable string = input.getText();
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, Second.class);
                intent.putExtra("thetext", string);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
    }
}

```

and in `Second.java` class I get `StringExtra` in this way:

```
public class Second extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.second);

        TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        String string = getIntent().getExtras().getString("thetext", "not found");
        text.setText(string); /// Here the text is not shown but the default message "not found" is set to `TextView`
    }
}

```

Please give me way to proceed in development.
