Answer 1

here how I use it; This button inside my CameraActionActivity Activity class where I call camera

 btn_frag_camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intenImatToSec = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
                startActivityForResult(intenImatToSec, REQUEST_CODE_VIDEO);
                //intenImatToSec.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
                //intenImatToSec.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_DURATION_LIMIT, 10);
                //Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Hello From Camera", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });



@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_IMG) {
                Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();
                Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) bundle.get("data");
                Intent intentBitMap = new Intent(getActivity(), DisplayImage.class);
                // aldıgımız imagi burda yonlendirdiğimiz sınıfa iletiyoruz
                ByteArrayOutputStream _bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 50, _bs);
                intentBitMap.putExtra("byteArray", _bs.toByteArray());
                startActivity(intentBitMap);

            } else if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_VIDEO) {
                Uri videoUrl = data.getData();
                Intent intenToDisplayVideo = new Intent(getActivity(), DisplayVideo.class);
                intenToDisplayVideo.putExtra("videoUri", videoUrl.toString());
                startActivity(intenToDisplayVideo);
            }
        }
    }

And my other DisplayVideo Activity Class

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview_display_video_actvity);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        Uri myUri=  Uri.parse(extras.getString("videoUri"));
        videoView.setVideoURI(myUri);

Answer 2

If you want to use standard extra data field, you would do something like this:

private Uri imageUri;
....
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GoogleActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri.toString());
startActivity(intent);
this.finish();

The documentation for Intent says:

EXTRA_STREAM   added in API level 1 
String EXTRA_STREAM
A content: URI holding a stream of data associated with the Intent,
used with ACTION_SEND to supply the data being sent. 

Constant Value: "android.intent.extra.STREAM"

You don't have to use the built-in standard names, but it's probably good practice and more reusable. Take a look at the developer documentation for a list of all the built-in standard extra data fields.
