suggest change

1. Passing integer data:

SenderActivity

Intent myIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("intVariableName", intValue);
startActivity(myIntent);

ReceiverActivity

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
int intValue = mIntent.getIntExtra("intVariableName", 0); // set 0 as the default value if no value for intVariableName found

2. Passing double data:

SenderActivity

Intent myIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("doubleVariableName", doubleValue);
startActivity(myIntent);

ReceiverActivity

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
double doubleValue = mIntent.getDoubleExtra("doubleVariableName", 0.00); // set 0.00 as the default value if no value for doubleVariableName found

3. Passing String data:

SenderActivity

Intent myIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("stringVariableName", stringValue);
startActivity(myIntent);

ReceiverActivity

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
String stringValue = mIntent.getExtras().getString("stringVariableName");

or

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
String stringValue = mIntent.getStringExtra("stringVariableName");

4. Passing ArrayList data :

SenderActivity

Intent myIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
myIntent.putStringArrayListExtra("arrayListVariableName", arrayList);
startActivity(myIntent);

ReceiverActivity

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
arrayList = mIntent.getStringArrayListExtra("arrayListVariableName");

5. Passing Object data :

SenderActivity

Intent myIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
myIntent.putExtra("ObjectVariableName", yourObject);
startActivity(myIntent);

ReceiverActivity

Intent mIntent = getIntent();
yourObj = mIntent.getSerializableExtra("ObjectVariableName");
Note : Keep in mind your custom Class must implement the Serializable interface.

6. Passing HashMap<String, String> data :

SenderActivity

HashMap<String, String> hashMap;

Intent mIntent = new Intent(SenderActivity.this, ReceiverActivity.class);
mIntent.putExtra("hashMap", hashMap);
startActivity(mIntent);

Intent mIntent = getIntent();    
HashMap<String, String> hashMap = (HashMap<String, String>)
mIntent.getSerializableExtra("hashMap");
