Android edittext: How to display the data inserted in edittext in a separate activity programmatically?

Question

The screen shot of my problem is provided in this link:

I am using two separate activities, for example activity A and activity B. In activity A, I have incorporated an edit text field. If the user enters some characters within double quotations, I have to display only the characters that are mentioned inside the double quotations.

For example, if the user input in the edittext is like

Value = "Welcome to the restaurant"

It has to display Welcome to the restaurant in the activity B, by neglecting Value=

Please help me on this. Thanks in advance Save Our Souls.

Do you want to remove the double quotes or pass the content to next activity? — ajantha, Jan 06 '16 at 11:35
are the double quotation supposed to be always first and last of the sentence, or they may appear anywhere in the sentence and you want to remove all appearance of the double quotations? — rahul, Jan 06 '16 at 11:38
@ajantha I need to pass the characters presented inside the double quotes and to display it in the seperate activity. — Vivek Anandhan Chandravathi, Jan 06 '16 at 11:58
@rahul the double quotes is presented anywhere in the sentence and I want to display the things inside the double quotes alone. — Vivek Anandhan Chandravathi, Jan 06 '16 at 11:59

@Hector since I am a newbie here, It is asking for 10 reputations to import my image here ;-) — Vivek Anandhan Chandravathi, Jan 06 '16 at 12:28

Try this (Keeping in mind your sentense I want to display the things inside the double quotes alone.)

    String example="Value = \"Welcome to the restaurant\""; //replace with EditText value

    int firstQuoteIndex=example.indexOf("\"")+1;
    int lastQuoteIndex=example.lastIndexOf("\"");

    String result=example.substring(firstQuoteIndex, lastQuoteIndex);

Intent i =new Intent(A.this,B.class);
i.putExtra("uservalue",usertext);
startActivity(i);

3. In B activity

String valueretrn=getIntent().getExtra().getString("uservalue");
textview.setText(valueretrn);
