     public class Menus extends Activity {
//set constants for MediaStore to query, and show videos
private final static Uri MEDIA_EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
private final static String _ID = MediaStore.Video.Media._ID;

protected Context _context;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    _context = getApplicationContext();
    _gallery = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.videoGrdVw);
    //set default as external/sdcard uri
    _contentUri = MEDIA_EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;

    _gallery.setAdapter(new VideoGalleryAdapter(_context));
    _gallery.setOnItemClickListener(_itemClickLis);

}
private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener _itemClickLis = new OnItemClickListener() 
{
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) 
    {
        // Now we want to actually get the data location of the file
        String [] proj={MEDIA_DATA};
        // We request our cursor again
        _cursor = managedQuery(_contentUri,
                proj, // Which columns to return
                null,       // WHERE clause; which rows to return (all rows)
                null,       // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
                null); // Order-by clause (ascending by name)
        // We want to get the column index for the data uri
        int count = _cursor.getCount();
        //
        _cursor.moveToFirst();
        //
        _columnIndex = _cursor.getColumnIndex(MEDIA_DATA);
        // Lets move to the selected item in the cursor
        _cursor.moveToPosition(position);

        Intent i = new Intent();
        i.putExtra("mnt/sdcard-ext", _ID);
        startActivity("com.ave.EDITOR");


    }
};

The Above is part of my Second Activity. Basically This code Displays Video Thumbnails from the SD card of the phone. Anyways, When i click on a thumbnail i want the Item in the list clicked to open to a new activity posted below, which is a ViewView.

public class Editor extends Activity {

ImageButton video1;
int isClicked = 0;
ImageButton audio;
int isClicked1 = 0;
private String path = "mnt/sdcard-ext";
private VideoView mVideoView;

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
    setContentView(R.layout.editor);
    mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);

    int data = getIntent().getExtras("mnt/sdcard-ext") .getInt("com.ave.EDITOR");

    if (path == "mnt/sdcard-ext") {
        // Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
        Toast.makeText(
                Editor.this,
                "Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path"
                        + " variable to your media file URL/path",
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    } else {

        /*
         * Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
         * mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
         */
        mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
        mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        mVideoView.requestFocus();



    video1 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.video1);
    video1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (isClicked == 0) {
                video1.setImageResource(R.drawable.video_pressed);
                isClicked = 1;
            } else {
                video1.setImageResource(R.drawable.video1);
                isClicked = 0;
            }
          }
     });

    audio = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.audio);
    audio.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (isClicked1 == 0) {
                audio.setImageResource(R.drawable.audio_pressed);
                isClicked1 = 1;
            } else {
                audio.setImageResource(R.drawable.audio);
                isClicked1 = 0;
            }
          }
      });
    }
  }
}

As you can see I don't know how to properly pass the intent extras, nor do i know how to get them from the 3rd activity. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

====== Android Manifest ====== (This is not the full manifest file)

<activity android:name=".Menus" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
      <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.ave.CLEARSCREEN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Editor" android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
      <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.ave.EDITOR" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Intent i = new Intent("com.ave.EDITOR");
i.putExtra("mnt/sdcard-ext", _ID);
startActivity(i);

and in second activity in onCreate method:

String data = getIntent().getStringExtra("mnt/sdcard-ext");
