import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public Button goButton;
public EditText yearField;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
goButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.goButton);
yearField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.yearField);
goButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Add your code in here!
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, TimeTravelActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("EXTRA_YEAR", yearField.getText());
}
});
