import android.widget.TextView;

public class AnotherActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  TextView textView;

  @Override

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      setContentView(R.layout.activity_another);

      textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.paramtextView);

      //to get the param value

      String paramValue = getIntent().getExtras().getString("myname");

      textView.setText("Welcome "+paramValue+"!!!");
