title: Android: Passing Date in putExtra
body: <p>I'm launching an activity and would like to pass a <code>Date(Time)</code> value to it. I've passed all my other parameters with <code>i.putExtra("noteName", "Hello World")</code> but I'm clueless on how to pass the date value and then retrieve it as a date with <code>getExtra()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I can easily use <code>i.putExtra("noteDate",noteDate);</code></p>
  
  <p>but then how do i retrieve it in the <code>Activity</code>'s <code>onCreate()</code>; I don't see an <code>extras.getDate()</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Should I convert it to <code>Float</code> and then back (in the <code>Activity</code>)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
