Answer 1

You shouldn't be passing views between activities. You should use extras to pass the location of the image in the intent and load it again in your new activity.

Ex:

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("imagePath", pathToImage);
    startActivity(intent);

And in you receiving activity:

    String path = getIntent().getStringExtra("imagePath");
    Drawable image = Drawable.createFromPath(path);
    myImageView.setImageDrawable(image);

Answer 2

You absolutely do not want to pass an image view from one activity to another. Views keep a reference to their ViewContainer and parent Activity. This prevents the Garbage Collector from clearing up memory when the Activity that owns the View gets hidden or closes. Instead you should pass the information required to replicate the ImageView from activity to another using Intents.
