     and write this code
    
package com.example.firsttosecond;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class FirstActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

    private EditText editData;
    private Button btnClick;
    private String getdata;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        editData=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.entertext);
        btnClick=(Button)findViewById(R.id.submit);
        btnClick.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }   

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        getdata=editData.getText().toString(); // here we are getting the data from edittext and saving it to a string data
       
        //An Intent is exactly what it describes. It's an "intention" to do an action.
        //here we are starting the other activity from the current activity while clicking on a button
        // it takes two parameter firt is the current contextPackage and
        // second parameter is the class to which it going to start
       
        Intent inSecond=new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
       
        inSecond.putExtra("data",getdata);       
       
        // inSecond.putExtra is used to pass the data from first activity to second
        // it takes two parameter first the key and another one the value
        // so here data is a key and
        //getdata is a value which we will get through editText
       
        startActivity(inSecond);  //this function is used to start your second activity
       
        finish(); //to kill your current activity
    }

}

9) Right click on layout folder go to New->click Android Xml File type the file name secondactivity_xml    under Root element: select the linear layout and click finish.

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/texttoShow"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

import android.widget.TextView;

public class SecondActivity extends Activity {

    private TextView txtShow;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.secondactivity_xml);
        txtShow=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.texttoShow);
        Intent intent = this.getIntent(); // this is used get the intent from the first activity
        /* Obtain String from Intent  */         
        String displayData = intent.getExtras().getString("data");// as we have passed the string data
         // from first activity so here we used getString method with the same key as we used in first activity
        txtShow.setText(displayData); //this setText method will display the data on the screen
    }
    ///This method will override your  back key to go back to the first activity
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onBackPressed();
        Intent inFirst=new Intent(SecondActivity.this,FirstActivity.class);
        startActivity(inFirst);
        finish(); //here again we are killing this activity so that its instance will not run in the background.
    }
}
