I think there's a problem here. When you findViewById for nameUser, you're
going to get an EditText back, not a string. Here's what I usually do:
EditText mynameUser = (EditText) findViewbyId(R.id.nameUser);
String Username = mynameUser.getText().toString();
and you will now have a string in Username.
Can't seem to get the Strings to output in the second activity called
> Preferences.
For that, you are going to have to put your data (Username, etc.) into a
Bundle and pass that into the Intent. Maybe something like this:
/* Create an Intent to start * MySecondActivity. */
Intent i = new Intent( LayoutTest1.this, Preferences.class);
i.putExtra("USERNAME", Username);
// repeat ad nauseum
startActivityForResult(i, 0x1337);
then in your other activity's onCreate(), you can do
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String myUsername = extras.getString("USERNAME");
