title: Sending Multiple Intents from a Single Activity to Another Activity
body: <p>I am very new to android, and I am trying to send user-inputted data (their names) to another activity. I have in the past been able to send single lines between activities using Intents, but I have not been able to work out how to send two different strings to two different TextViews.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code for the MainActivity so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.game;
  
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.view.Menu;
  import android.widget.Button;
  import android.widget.EditText;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;
  
  public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
      button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View view) {
              sendNames();
              sendNames2();
          }
      });
  }
  
  
  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
      getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
      return true;
  }
  public void sendNames() {
      //sends player1's name to mainGame
      Intent intent = new Intent (this, MainGame.class);
      EditText player1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.player1);
      String message = player1.getText().toString();
      intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
      startActivity(intent);
  }//sends player2's name to mainGame
   public void sendNames2(){
      Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, MainGame.class);
      EditText player2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.player2);
      String message2 = player2.getText().toString();
      intent2.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message2);
      startActivity(intent2);
  }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code for my second activity, MainGame:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.game;
  
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.view.Menu;
  import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
  import android.view.MenuItem;
  import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
  import android.annotation.TargetApi;
  import android.os.Build;
  import android.widget.TextView;
  
  public class MainGame extends Activity {
  @SuppressLint("NewAPI")
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
      //retrives player1's name
      Intent intent = getIntent();
      String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
      TextView name1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name1);
      name1.setText(message);
      //retrivews player2's name
      Intent intent2 = getIntent();
      String message2 = intent2.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
      TextView name2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name2);
      name2.setText(message2);
  
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT &gt;= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
          getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
      }
  
  }
  
         return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this, I get whatever has been put in for 'name2' in both TextViews. What do I need to do to change this?</p>
