In Android, data transfer between screens (Activity, Fragment) is done using:

  • Intent with Extras — the most common way to pass data between Activities. You can put primitive types, Serializable, Parcelable objects.
Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("key", "value");
startActivity(intent);
  • Bundle — used for passing data between Fragments or saving state.

  • ViewModel and SharedViewModel — for data exchange between fragments within the same Activity via shared ViewModel.

  • Singleton or global classes — for storing data accessible from different parts of the app (not recommended due to state management issues).

  • Architecture components (LiveData, StateFlow) — for reactive data exchange.

  • Third-party libraries (EventBus, RxJava) — for event and data passing between components.

The choice depends on the app architecture and data volume.
