import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private EditText mEditText;
    private Button mButton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
        mButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                String age = mEditText.getText().toString();
            }
        });
    }
    private void newActivity (String age) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, AgeActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("age", age);

Think of breaking down age into smaller units, such as days. Age * 365 gives me how many days equals an age. I could use the product of that and multiple by how many seconds in a day (86400) to get the age of the user in seconds. Continue to work your way through months.
