.getExtras()' on a null object reference

Question

I am trying to pass a few values between my activities to make a game work. However, the new activity after passing the information always returns null when I try to .getExtras(

Wait until onCreate to get the intent. Your trying to getIntent() when the class is instantiated instead of when the Activity is active.

Then just assign the values found to a field and other methods inside that class can access the field.
