This example demonstrates the use of explicit intents in Android to navigate from one activity to

another while passing data between them. Here’s a detailed explanation of the entire process:

### **Main Concepts**

1. **Explicit Intents**: Used to start another activity within the same application.
2. **Passing Data**: The `Intent` object is used to send data from one activity to another.

### **Step 1: First Activity (MainActivity.java)**

#### **XML Layout (activity_main.xml)**

```xml
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextIndex"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:text="Write Image Index"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Send Image Index"
android:onClick="onIndexSendButtonClicked"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.498"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/editTextIndex"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.318" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
```
- **EditText** (`@+id/editTextIndex`): Allows the user to input the index of the image they want to
view in the next activity.
- **Button** (`@+id/button`): When clicked, this triggers the `onIndexSendButtonClicked`
method.

#### **Java Code (MainActivity.java)**

```java
package com.example.vahexplicitintent;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

public void onIndexSendButtonClicked(View v) {

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class); // Create an Intent to start
SecondActivity
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextIndex); // Get the EditText view
String index = editText.getText().toString(); // Retrieve the text entered by the user
intent.putExtra("imageIndex", index); // Put the image index as an extra in the intent
startActivity(intent); // Start SecondActivity
}
}
```
- **`onIndexSendButtonClicked(View v)`**: This method is called when the button is clicked. It
creates an `Intent` to start `SecondActivity` and passes the entered image index to it using
`putExtra`.

### **Step 2: Create Second Activity**

- **Create a new activity**: `SecondActivity.java`

- **Add images**: Copy the images into the `drawable` folder (e.g., `thalepith`, `shira1`,
`upama1`, `dhapate`).

### **Step 3: Second Activity Layout (activity_second.xml)**

```xml
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".SecondActivity">

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageViewFood"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.494"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.054"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/thalepith" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
```
- **ImageView** (`@+id/imageViewFood`): Displays the selected food image based on the index
passed from `MainActivity`.

### **Java Code (SecondActivity.java)**

```java
package com.example.vahexplicitintent;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras(); // Retrieve the bundle of extras from the Intent
if(bundle != null){
String imgIndex = bundle.getString("imageIndex"); // Get the image index from the
bundle
setImage(imgIndex); // Call the method to set the image based on the index
}
}

public void setImage(String index){

ImageView imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewFood); // Get the
ImageView

switch (index) {
case "1":
imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.thalepith); // Set image for index 1
break;
case "2":
imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.shira1); // Set image for index 2
break;
case "3":
imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.upama1); // Set image for index 3
break;
case "4":
imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.dhapate); // Set image for index 4
break;
default:
imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.upama1); // Default image if no valid index is
provided
}
}
}
```
- **`onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)`**: Retrieves the image index from the intent extras
and calls `setImage` to display the appropriate image.
- **`setImage(String index)`**: A method that sets the `ImageView` resource based on the index
value passed from `MainActivity`.

### **Summary:**
1. **MainActivity**: Takes user input for an image index and starts `SecondActivity` with that
index passed via an `Intent`.
2. **SecondActivity**: Receives the image index and displays the corresponding image in an
`ImageView` using a switch-case statement.
This is a basic demonstration of explicit intents and data passing between activities in Android,
making it easier to create interactive apps.
