Adding A New Activity - My Intent Always Returns the Default Value

My Intent from the first activity below, always returns the default activity specified in CheatActivity. Any idea what I did wrong. I tried the debugger and it didn’t recognise my breakpoint:
package com.bignerdranch.geoquiz;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import static com.bignerdranch.geoquiz.R.*;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    //class constants:
    private static final String TAG = "QuizActivity";
    private static final String KEY_INDEX = "index";

    // create widget variables
    private TextView mQuestionBox;
    private Button mTrueButton;
    private Button mFalseButton;
    private Button mNextButton;
    private Button mPrevButton;
    private Button mCheatButton;

    private Question[] mQuestionBank = new Question[]
            { new Question(string.question_oceans, true),
                    new Question(string.question_mideast, false),
                    new Question(string.question_africa, false),
                    new Question(string.question_americas, true),
                    new Question(string.question_asia, true), };
    private int mCurrentIndex = 0;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(layout.activity_main);
        if (savedInstanceState != null){
            mCurrentIndex = savedInstanceState.getInt(KEY_INDEX, 0);
          }

        // wire the widget variables to those in the layout file
       mQuestionBox = findViewById(id.questionBox);
        mTrueButton = findViewById(id.trueButton);
        mFalseButton = findViewById(id.falseButton);
        mNextButton = findViewById(id.nextButton);
        mPrevButton = findViewById(id.prevButton);
        mCheatButton = findViewById(id.cheat_button);

        // we add listeners to the buttons.
        mTrueButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                checkAnswer(true);
            }
        });
        mFalseButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                checkAnswer(false);
            }
        });
        mNextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (!(mCurrentIndex < 0)) {
                   mCurrentIndex = (mCurrentIndex + 1) % mQuestionBank.length;
                    updateQuestion();
                }
            }
        });

        mPrevButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (!(mCurrentIndex < 0)) {
                    mCurrentIndex = (mCurrentIndex - 1) % mQuestionBank.length;
                    updateQuestion();
                }
            }
        });

        // we add a listener to the TextView as well so that is goes to the next question
        mQuestionBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mCurrentIndex = (mCurrentIndex + 1) % mQuestionBank.length;
                updateQuestion();
            }
        });

        mCheatButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,cheatActivity.class);
                boolean answerIsTrue = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].isAnswerTrue();
                cheatActivity.newIntent(MainActivity.this,answerIsTrue);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        Log.i(TAG, "onSaveInstanceState");
        savedInstanceState.putInt(KEY_INDEX, mCurrentIndex); }

    private void updateQuestion() {
        int question = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].getTextResId();
        mQuestionBox.setText(question);
    }
    private void checkAnswer (boolean userPressedTrue){
        boolean answerIsTrue = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].isAnswerTrue();
        int messageResId = 0;
        if (userPressedTrue == answerIsTrue){
            messageResId = string.correctAnswer;
        } else {
            messageResId = string.incorrectAnswer;
        }
            Toast.makeText(this, messageResId, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

And

package com.bignerdranch.geoquiz;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class cheatActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String EXTRA_ANSWER_IS_TRUE = “com.bignerdranch.android.geoquiz.answer_is_true”;
private boolean mAnswerIsTrue;
private TextView mAnswerTextView;
private Button mShowAnswer;

public static Intent newIntent(Context packageContext, boolean answerIsTrue) {
    Intent i = new Intent(packageContext, cheatActivity.class);
    i.putExtra(EXTRA_ANSWER_IS_TRUE, answerIsTrue);
    return i;
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_cheat);
    setTitle(R.string.Cheat);
    mAnswerIsTrue = getIntent().getBooleanExtra(EXTRA_ANSWER_IS_TRUE,false);

    mAnswerTextView = findViewById(R.id.answer_text_view);
    mShowAnswer = findViewById(R.id.show_answer_button);

    mShowAnswer.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (mAnswerIsTrue) {
                mAnswerTextView.setText(R.string.trueButton);
            } else {
                mAnswerTextView.setText(R.string.falseButton);
            }
        }
    });
}

}

mCheatButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,cheatActivity.class);
    boolean answerIsTrue = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].isAnswerTrue();
    cheatActivity.newIntent(MainActivity.this,answerIsTrue);
    startActivity(i);
  }
});

You’re not using the Intent created by Cheat activity. The CheatActivity.newIntent(...) method returns an intent that you should then call start activity with.

So, your code should be:

mCheatButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
    boolean answerIsTrue = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].isAnswerTrue();
    Intent i = cheatActivity.newIntent(MainActivity.this,answerIsTrue);
    startActivity(i);
  }
});
