Question

How to pass the detail HashMap to another Activity?

HashMap<String,String> detail = new HashMap<String, String>();
detail.add("name","paresh");
detail.add("surname","mayani");
detail.add("phone","99999");

Answer 1

This is pretty simple, All Collections objects implement Serializable (sp?) interface which means they can be passed as Extras inside Intent

Use putExtra(String key, Serializable obj) to insert the HashMap and on the other Activity use getIntent().getSerializableExtra(String key), You will need to Cast the return value as a HashMap though.
