title: Intent message passing confusion
body: <p>I am a little confused with intent and message passing in android.Basically my current predicament:</p>
  
  <p>A screen is shown to user displaying list of animals, when a user clicks a row, e.g. a Tiger, information about this animal will be displayed on the next screen/activity.</p>
  
  <p>I have the framework for the application largely taken care of, so when a user selects from animal list they are brought to the Animal activity/class, but at this stage it is just a generic mockup. </p>
  
  <p>How can I go about telling the application that TIGER was selected, and to show tiger data to user.My approach thus far</p>
  
  <p>User clicks item on list and activity is called:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id){
      Intent animalIntent = new Intent(this, Animal.class);
      startActivity(animalIntent);
  }
  </code></pre>
