How to pass an image from one activity another activity in Android?
This example demonstrates how to do I pass an image from one Activity in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="16dp" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <Button android:id="@+id/btnSend" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="40dp" android:onClick="SendImage" android:text="Send Image" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_below="@id/btnSend" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:src="@drawable/image" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void SendImage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("resId", R.drawable.image);
startActivity(intent);
}
}Step 4 − Create an empty activity and add the following code:
Activity_second.xml −
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="8dp" tools:context=".SecondActivity"> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="40dp" android:text="Second Activity" android:textSize="24sp" android:textStyle="bold"/> <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_below="@id/textView" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:id="@+id/imageView2"/> </RelativeLayout>
SecondActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
int resId = bundle.getInt("resId");
imageView.setImageResource(resId);
}
}
}Step 5 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".SecondActivity"></activity> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from the android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run 
icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen −
