1. Aim:
Create an Android app that uses Intent with button to create a page and passes
values from one activity to another.

2. Objective:
The objective of an Android app that uses Intent with a button to create a page and
passes values from one activity to another could be to demonstrate and implement a
simple data communication flow between different activities within an Android
application. This type of app is commonly used to understand and showcase the
concept of passing data between different screens or pages in Android.

3. Procedure:
Step 1: Create a New Project
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a
New Project in Android Studio. We are implementing it for both Java and Kotlin
languages.

Step 2: Add one more Empty View Activity to the Project

Right-Click on the app, move the cursor to new, find the “Activity->Empty View
Activity” option.

Step 3: Install and Run the Code

Install and run the code on Android Virtual Device (AVD) or a personal device.
Send Message to intent using Send button and come back to main screen using back
button on intent screen
