Passing string from edit text to another activity

Passing string from edit text to another activity

I have looked through the example here on stack overflow. However, I can't
get a solution that works correctly. My application still crashes. How do
I pass the string from an edit text in one activity to another?
This is my code from the first activity: Button btnGo = (Button)
findViewById(R.id.btnGo);
btnGo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
EditText etLocation = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_location);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("location", etLocation.getText().toString());
startActivity(intent);
Code from Second Activity:
textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String str = intent.getStringExtra("location");
textView1.setText(str);
