How to open a new screen with additional parameters?
<p>I've read through the FAQ of Android Dev Guid <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#opennewscreen" rel="nofollow">(http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#opennewscreen</a>) but I'm not sure how can I open a new screen with additional parameters passed into it. </p>

<p>Let's say I'm going to open screen2, with a variable indicating the current user name so that I could greet the users. Is it possible?</p>

<pre><code>Intent i; 
i = new Intent(this, screen2.class);  
//How to pass variable to screen2?
startActivity(i); 
</code></pre>
